The aftermath is when you really know just how devastating it all was. It's when you really get to grasp just what you were hit with. The level and magnitude of a devastation is only fully known in it's wake. What it leaves behind tell it's story. Who it hurt, how it hurt them, and just how brutal the storm was. When it's all over you look around and survey what is left. First the mind looks through the eyes taking it all in. Then you process what you lost and the damage but not completely. Just enough to start reacting. As the days go by you look at the losses more closely and then you beginning to take stock. You begin to see what you still have left. The biggest problem with a shock isn't that we've lost things but that there was nothing we could do.
