Unfortunately the company which gave her overdraft protection was heavily in debt itself.
Fortunately, someone paid their bill in full which provided the necessary funds to sort out the financial mess.

Unfortunately, the financial mess being sorted at that time, didn't help the struggling farmers suffering from natural disasters in their area.
Fortunately, there have been some aid from local charities to help out the farmers.

Fortunately the hailstorm & sharp gusts of wind & rain following the bushfires ruined the photographers' expensive equipment so they had to pick up all their belongings & go home.
Unfortunately, some belongings were left behind.
