...You have NO IDEA! In the press and from the Govt, they use wording like "inconvenienced residents." There's nothing more patronizing than that, considering almost all of us were legitimately freaking out! I've heard some pretty horrible stories. For my little family, I'm glad we weren't in a crowded area because panic causes more panic. We were at home and still tripping out. I woke my wife out of bed in a frenzy and realized I had no solution. Our shelters are mediocre at best, and they're not close enough anyway. It was a hair-raising experience. And, yes, most of the tension is gone. But the frustration and anger are still here. Hopefully they get it together soon.
