The tragedies unfolding in my town are so awful.

The tragedies unfolding in my town are so awful. The weather events of the last couple of days caused dozens of landslides - I can see several from my house. One in my neighbourhood claimed two lives, one at the beach is still unfolding: two bodies recovered so far, with six more missing, some of them kids.
I know I can't do anything useful, I need to get on with *things*, but I keep getting mental flashes of how it must be for those families. For those kids. I can't bear it.
