Volunteers passed out blankets while phones buzzed with fragments of news: a roof torn away here, a street swallowed by water there. Outside, emergency crews pushed through fallen trees and live wires, answering calls that never seemed to stop. As the winds slowly began to ease, people stepped out to a changed landscape—shaken, but alive, clinging to the hope that this would be the worst they would ever have to endure.
