Was just talking with a good friend whose wife (a St. John's nurse) is on a triage team. He's been trying to comfort her on the phone today as it is now getting to the stage where they are lifting fallen concrete slabs of the businesses that were destroyed and finding several victims. Many of them children who were out shopping with their parents. It's going to be rough for a lot of these search and rescue and triage folks who were not trained to deal with something of this magnitude.
The thing we are really struggling with is how to tell our 4.5 year old daughter what happened and why she can no longer go to many of these places she loved to go. Right now it is simply because there was a storm.
