David,
        I am sad to hear of your troubles. It's a time for families and friends to stand together. Material items can always be replaced, but loved ones cannot. I'm glad to hear you and your family are safe.

David, glad to hear you and your family are safe. Our thoughts are with you as you recover from this disaster. We had it pretty mild here in central PA.

David, my families thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. It's great to hear that you & your family are alright. That's something that can never be replaced.
It sucks big time that your house and cars are a total loss, but those can be replaced.

3 feet of water isn't so much. I don't know details, but I think you may be able to rescue your stuff, if the house or other buildings didn't fall down because of the wind strokes.

And as was mentioned above, it's good to read, that you, and your family are OK.

I talked to Dave this morning.... he's staying with family close by... family is ok... his  work studio is ok..    He says everything else is pretty much gone, below the 3-4 foot mark.... and seeing they have a ranch house built on a concrete slab... it means that almost everything is ruined by salt water..

the house will have to be totally stripped inside and out, and rebuilt after .... He's already talking to the insurance co about it
his new cars are also water damaged inside and out... salt water everywhere....
Surprisingly, he told me that his bird was only a little damp inside, even with a missing back window, with a tarp over the car... apparently our car doors seal very well compared to a new car.. the thinks it will be salvageable and he will be able to use it as a temp DD until things get settled.....

He also asked me to post to tell everyone he's ok, and cell phone coverage is spotty with all the power outages, so it will probably be at least a few days until he can get back online..

salt water corrodes everything metal it comes in contact with..... wiring  plumbing  nails holding your house together,  electronics... think about everything you own in a house that is stored below 3-4 feet.. unless its in an upper cabinet, or a shelf closet. Its pretty much a goner by the time you can get to it and try to save it
