Hi All,
Just a quick message to check in. My dog Ginger and I escaped Ivan with our lives. However, my home (that was near the I-10 bridge that collapsed) did not. The 40' storm surge took out the bottom story of the house (and the rental car in the garage). The windstorm destroyed the third floor, leaving the second floor damaged where we rode the storm out.
At one point, I had a life preserver on the dog and one on myself, thinking the structure would come apart.
I've spent the last few days digging through the mud and slime salvaging what I can and placing it into storage. The guns were safe, but I'll probably place many up for sale in the coming weeks to free up some assets for the rebuilding project.
Hopefully, State Farm and FEMA will look upon me with favor....
More later,
Bill
