Combination reply because I found myself repeating myself.

I'm not sorry to have dealt with it, honestly. And no, I've never entertained the thought of leaving here. If the worst comes to pass, and my home is destroyed, the next one will be on higher ground, but these weary worn-out little mountains and the people here are my home and my family.

I'm more fortunate than a lot of people. I have the awareness and perspective to understand both the scale and the significance of such an event, a community to put my time and energy into (not to mention to money) to help, and the ability to prepare myself and other people for the future.
