There's a couple disasters in progress here, both an earthquake and widespread heavy flooding, affecting about 1/10 of the population. Most major roads are closed. Hundreds of cars afloat. Some garages are doing free restoration work, if you pay for the parts.
There are helicopter patrols running in a rescue effort, and people with small boats are working with the police.
I'm working the ER, Dialysis, and Cardiac Crit units at a private hospital, and we've been converted over to an emergency collection point for donations of foodstuffs etc. There's a staff shortage, as people cannot get to work, so I'm also doing the Orthopedics and Trauma over the last 48 hours. Fortunately, it's not too busy. I got some sleep today.
You should see the videos of anacondas people are posting...
In any event, my folks are unaffected. We live on hills, because we took global warming seriously. Continued storms are expected over the next 2 days. Also criminals on the move, I hear, so the house is at higher risk while off working. Doubt they'd hit the hospital.
Will write more if anything interesting transpires.
