Some of the reporting is redundant and sometimes borders on the ridiculous, but I know for me it was very helpful throughout a terrible situation.
That would have been an extremely frightening experience to me.
Especially the suspense of not knowing what was occuring back at home while you were in the shelter. Hopefully, your home was spared.
