Catching up!
Exactly. That's what I'm thinking - those people can mostly be presumed dead (or hopefully just hanging on long enough to be rescued) - there might be a couple here and there who are so deeply into vacation mode somewhere they don't know yet and aren't taking phone calls but I think that's a long shot at this point, sadly.
As with my reply above, I think at this point, with this being international news, anyone who just wasn't at home has probably checked in (which is why there is an 'accounted for' number). There might still be a handful who is truly incommunicado somewhere. Let's hope for their families sake that's the case.
Cassie must have been shocked and terrified and her husband would have been half confused and half worried and now is probably just brain fried from worry and grief. I'm not surprised it's not precise. I'm betting she meant the pool deck which definitely does look sunken. That said, I don't know if it's sunken in appearance because of the collapse or if sinking had something to do with causing the collapse.
this lady woke up and acted quickly, and it saved her ... I wonder how many didn't wake up until it was too late (I definitely know some people who sleep deeply enough they'd sleep through the shaking and noise, and some people might take some kind of sleeping meds) or who woke up, but hesitated
BBM: I think this is true of the balcony damage (and there are other reports by trained and qualified people who say the same), but the damage in the garage is far more meaningful and serious JMO.
