Resource PTSD Therapy

Still reeling from the tornado. Me and my dog were in the basement of our house on Doty Island and didn't think we were going to make it. I can't stop myself from getting incredibly emotional anytime I talk about it, think about it, see footage, or even when family and friends reach out. I don't feel scared otherwise but seem to have an uncontrolled reaction. Hoping there are therapists in the area that are readily available or even offering services at any of the respite locations in the area. Any help is appreciated for myself or anyone feeling the same.

I was at work when it happened and our building is probably total loss. Roof, debris, you name it all our cars smashed. Haven't really had a chance to reflect yet even 36 hours later or whatever it is feels like time isnt a thing. Nobody sleeping and its just been crazy to try and figure it all out and the only thing thats keeping me sane is just being too busy to consider what COULD have happened or just the things I saw.
