Dear Mom and Dad.

Good news: We made it to Grandma Ellen's!

Bad news: She's not here.

I don't know what to do now. Her house looks a bit better than ours did, maybe it was further away from whatever that earthquake was? We've barricaded the doors and windows and shut ourselves up in the kitchen. Her power's off too, so the stuff in the fridge and freezer's inedible, but there's plenty of food in the cupboards. You know how she likes to stock up. Her laptop has some battery power as well, so I'm going to try charging our phones again and finding some more recent information.
