I thought of you as soon as I heard the news this morning too.... Your family must be going nuts about this but like said above this will pass and it sounds like you can stay out of harms way til then. I'm glad you posted to let us know that you are ok. MK's suggestion that you keep a journal is a really great idea. As scary as this situation is, it is an opportunity to preserve and share experiences and descriptions in a context uncontaminated by anyone's agenda or bias. Its something you could regret later not doing. Stay safe and keep posting often.

Jess, I will be praying for you, your husband and his family and all the people affected by this. I really hope it all ends soon. It is so sad, that all those innocent people must endure these actions and live in fear.

Add me to the list of people who are praying for you.

Try to stay calm, just be aware of your surroundings, and I also agree with doubling up on the canned goods and water in case of shortages.

I know it's scary, and tough, but you'll pull through this and you'll be even stronger because of it.

It's unfortunate that you and many other innocent people have to be stuck in the middle of all of this.

We're all thinking about you.
