Absolutely.
Even more amazing, my sister got a cell phone call
from Mom earlier-- about 15 minutes, before the signal
died, but enough to confirm that she's okay, the house
is damaged but habitable, and that there is looting,
but she has a dog and feels reasonably secure at home.
Tremendous relief.
