Strangers shared flashlights and phone chargers, trading stories of close calls and near misses. Authorities coordinated nonstop with emergency crews, mapping the worst-hit areas and bracing for new calls as the system crawled across the region. No one knew exactly when it would finally pass, but amid the fear and uncertainty, a fragile sense of solidarity held people together until the storm’s fury began to fade.
