9. :) Suffering? We have far bigger evacuations here practically

every year now, 6.4 million for Irma. Big inconvenience, running out of gas, expenses or sleeping in emergency shelters if no friends or family to go to, having to come home and clean up (which happens here with every big wildfire). But since only a fraction were evacuated here, by far most probably went to friends or family in the city.

Perspective is good. Pretty sure they can handle it.

In a city of 100,000 including those out at the depot, so far it's reported to be 1 dead, 12 to hospital, 6 released at the time of most recent article.
