I'm glad you and your family are safe. I can totally relate sa "my brain wasn't braining." because it is really chaotic in these situations. Had a small discussion din sa amin about having a "go bag" ready in case of emergencies and also what are the things that can be done to secure the family and pets. Safety is the first priority.

You should be proud of your dad for waking up the neighbors because it might have become a bigger disaster kung may nasaktan. Parang action movie, noh? Lastly, Thank God that it remained small and point of reflection siguro ito in our life moving forward. So many lessons for you in the next few years from this single experience. God bless and have a better day ahead!
