Ten years ago today, my city was rocked to its foundation.

I remember that day so very well. It's all still so vivid in my mind. The smell of the gas in the air. The eerie silence that comes only when it's well and truly dark. The simple fact that lights don't really just go dark. That night, they faded and we could hear it...

I've never been so afraid in my life. I honestly thought we'd all die that night, but we didn't. So many people I know lost everything to the storm, but most of us survived.

Piper doesn't really remember that night and I'm thankful for that. Maybe it's for the best since I can still remember it all too well.
