Great that nobody died. Yet still absolutely tragic for anyone's home to be completely decimated like that. It's something I've honestly not thought much about until getting my own house. Likely tons of things they either worked so hard to buy or collect, many others that are likely irreplaceable, lost after such a tragedy.
I mean if we are being technical, semantic drift causes words to change based on how they are widely used. Just like how the definition of the word literally had changed to include figurative uses as well.

Hopefully these were abandoned.
