Neighbors emerged in shock as emergency crews navigated flooded, debris-filled streets. Yet amid the destruction, relief prevailed: no lives were lost. As families cleaned up and shared shelter and supplies, the community held onto gratitude, knowing the rebuilding would take time but the worst had been spared.
