I'm not sure how safe it is to stay but at the same time there's not really much we can do at the moment about that anyway.
But either way thank you guys so much for the kind words. It certainly was a terrifying few minutes to feel the tremor and take a look at the aftermath outside, what with whole building having their glass facades shattered. We were lucky to only have about two broken windows. And to my knowledge, everyone I know is safe so far.
the moment i saw something happen in lebanon, i immediately thought of you guys. hell i was about to post on your profile too but that left my mind and my sister did it. i'm so glad you guys are safe, though!
