What is it?
I don't even know.

Guys, we still had enough internet to receive information but couldn't send anything.
So we had gotten word that we could tune in to a specific AM radio station each evening between a certain time to hear families who were calling and asking if their loved ones were okay.
My partner at the time and I would go out to my car, turn on the radio and listen.
And every evening we got updates on who was looking for who, who was on the way to help us or not, and who had been marked as safe.
Sure enough, a couple of days in, we heard my mom calling in to try and confirm that her baby girl, me, was okay.
Wow.
