person A: The aftermath was awful.  Trash and debris was everywhere and we were homeless.  We lived out in the country and it took some time before red cross came out to do their report and get help to us.
person B: That sounds terrible. I hope you're okay now.
person A: I am doing better now but it was really hard times.  We had moved everything up higher as we never expected our whole house to go.  Unfortunately we had all our belongings in the house as well.
person B: Well all the matters is that no one was hurt. You can buy property again but not lives.
