Well, at least not physically.  Many of those people had their whole lives 
on that mountain.  I just read a story on www.azstarnet.com that says that 
pretty much every building along with main street is gone.  That pretty 
much includes ALL of the businesses up there.  There is a picture of what 
used to be the Alpine Lodge.

I have customers and friends up there that used to own businesses on the 
mountain.  As of yesterday they no longer do.

While it is wonderful that no one is physically hurt, everyone that lived 
up there is hurt, and I doubt that many of them will ever really recover 
from this.
