" Not much left at my house but we are alive", " Hurt but alive, lost everything glad to be alive" , " I took cover in my bathtub......not sure where it went. I ended up 30 ft away under 2 feet of debris. So happy to be alive!! " Very haunting words from people that are near and dear to my heart. Then this morning I also received word that the apartment building I lived in was totally destroyed.
