We are incredibly fortunate in one aspect; none of our belongings were damaged. I was able to race home when it happened and move stuff away from the damaged areas, and it just so happens that our computers and other electronics were in relatively safe areas.

In the immediate future I'm worried about the horrible mess of hastily shifted household items and the general dusting of semi-wet plaster which now covers most surfaces in my house; it looks like a bomb went off.

After that, I am really not willing to live in the apartment while they so very slowly fix the damaged sheet rock and carpet. I think it will be a health hazard, and our apartment is just to small to feasibly live in while it's being repaired.
