Ok. I guess my information was wrong. The span of damage is the equivalent of Maine to Arizona. That hardly seems contained. Have some friends traveling there as we speak. Hope all is well with them and that their journey is not too scary.

(Hope all you illustrators will post portraits of pandas.)
