    I remember I saw this on the news and I asked my mom what happened. It was a horrific moment and I was really worried about the people who were probably trapped in the houses. I remember when a person interviewed a survivor and how she couldn't leave because the survivor didn't want to leave her piano, which was passed down generation to generation.
