And then- within a week, everyone was focused elsewhere….

“The funny thing,” said my mother, “was that bicycle thefts were no greater that week than the week before, or the week before that, or the week after.

There was no crime wave.” - Bill

Nice anecdote, Bill. I agree that we have have so much significant news flying around it is easy to get lost on the next big thing. In fact some of the locals interviewed expressed fear they had been forgotten. I understand that feeling - if power and internet and cell service are non existent, then the Calvary might be right around the corner and you would not know it until they actually arrive.

A big thank you to Elon Musk for donating a bunch of Starlink equipment. Once these stranded pockets have communications, spirits will be lifted, and local rescue can be coordinated until the Calvary arrives.
