I wish I could give you some sort of true consolation, ALROT, but it's beyond me. Power and communications in that area have been severely impaired. Sadly, it's apt to be a long time before much is anything near to 'normalized' and even then a lot of lost and missing. The only thing I could think do do right now is provide a couple links -- not just for you but if you or anyone else wants info or can find someone to donate in some way. Best wishes.

I said my part on a related post.
Aside from that, ALROT, it's good to hear that your Stateside relatives made it out of there.
