Writing Exercise: After the Storm

Remember that person you wrote about in the last exercise and how they were preparing for an imminent storm?  When the wind dies down and the rain stops, and they come out of their hibernation, and step out into the world for the first time, what happened?  What are they faced with, damage, flooding, calm?  How did their preparations help, hinder, or have nothing to do with the the outcome of the storm?  And more importantly, how do they react to the situation?

Is there a tree down that crushed their car?
Do they have any shingles left on the roof?
Is the electricity out, and all that food in the refrigerator they bought is going to go bad anyway?

And more importantly, how do they feel about what they see?  And what do they do first?
