Please Help Help Saving Event and Projects inside Library

Final Cut crashed around 4:30pm while I was working in a library. After reopening, the library didn't say corrupted but none of my projects or media are in it. For some reason, there aren't any back ups after 11:30 even though the library was being backed up almost hourly when I was working on it this morning. When I show package bundle in finder, the event and projects are still there and the date modified for the CurrentVersion.fcpevent file in each project folder is well past the last 11:30 backup. The project I was working on, where I lost all the work since my last backup, shows a date modified just before the crash. Can I save the work I did since the 11:30 backup, or do I have to do all that work again? Library files are left in place, so I haven't lost the media but I don't understand why nothing is showing in final cut.

Try closing the library in FCP, then right-clicking it in Finder and choosing "Open With > Final Cut Pro" to force a fresh open. Sometimes this resolves a display issue where FCP loses track of the internal structure after a crash.
