Thank you to everyone for your support. This past weekend was amazing. This entire area was "flooded" with volunteers over the weekend, and Angie & I had about 30 folks helping us. In two days, we had the house & garage gutted and got the box fans going. The FEMA inspector showed up yesterday for the his walk-thru assessment, so we have the ball rolling as far as that stuff goes. We're basically starting over from scratch. Everything the water touched has to be replaced...appliances, cabinets, walls, furniture, etc. I hope that none of you ever have to go through this. On the outskirts of the county, I know of a farmer that had to shoot all 140 head of his dairy cows. With each dairy cow worth about $5k, you can do the math. It's going to take a long time for this place to heal from this wound. Until next time, all of you take care.
