The staff members brought them to the safest space they could reach, covered them with blankets, and sang "You Are My Sunshine" to them while the storm ripped off the roof of the building. They all survived.
Damn.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah, that 91 total sounded kind of high to me last night (based on what I had been reading). I still haven't watched news coverage beyond Maddow last night. I don't like inaccurate early reports. They make me freak out.
The emergency personnel are still looking for people, but the mayor apparently was confident that the 24 is the number. I don't know.

As bad as it is, if the people hadn't been well-prepared and serious about their safety, the toll would have been much much worse.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Damn.
Wow. Just burst out crying at my desk. For some reason that song is a crypoint for me anyway.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
What Theo said. In addition, cuts to National Weather Service would have given the people 3 minutes to shelter instead of the ~17 they got.

That's OK Kate. I have my own office. I really find You Are My Sunshine to be one of the saddest songs ever-- like up there with Danny Boy on Bagpipes.
ETA: I was also just hanging on by a thread after watching the video where the little old lady gets reunited with her dog.
