It was pretty scary night, aussie. The weather forcasters did a good job telling people it was coming, but the storms hit sooner than people thought. You can't do much to protect yourself other than completely leave the area. Many of the people killed were elderly folks who couldn't drive.
I don't know anyone personally who was killed. A friend who lives in a hard-hit county knows several people who lost everything. Today I dropped off a case of water that will be taken to a neighboring county. Most communities are taking care of their own cleanup and recovery.
There was some looting. People took advantage of the situation by taking water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners, etc. There are always those who take advantage of others' misery.
