history: During Hurricane Irma last year, tarps, water, batteries and other supplies sold out way ahead of the storm. I managed to gather the things we needed over the course of the next week, ahead of the storm. Last year_comma_ we had a trying experience during Hurricane Irma_comma_ but came out OK. That must have been terrible. Were you okay?  At first_comma_ there were no supplies. But yes_comma_ we ended up OK.
current: I can imagine it must have been very distressing. Glad that you were OK.
next: Thanks.
