At a nearby community center, dozens of residents came together to offer support, share prayers, and provide comfort to one another.

Volunteers brought water, snacks, and blankets. Others offered rides for family members trying to reach local hospitals. Local clergy and community leaders arrived to provide emotional and spiritual support.
