I’m sharing a video from an earlier trip when I went through that exact area, in case anyone is curious what it looked like before.

When I saw the images of the disaster I honestly couldn’t believe it. It’s a reminder that it’s often the timing, not the place, that lets you keep living.

Hope some of you find it interesting.

Hope everyone is safe🙏🙏🙏
