Glad as hell your boat wasn't a total casualty.
We are currently living in pure hell, aka the Missouri bootheel. After being stranded during evacuation, we came here to my cousin's house, then rented my deceased aunt and uncle's old house, and it looks like we'll be here for an extended period. Our house's status is "unknown" according to the landlord. He says that the owner hasn't decided what to do yet, but I have a feeling they are just waiting on our lease to expire in April so they can get bigger money for our place. It stood, but was under enough water to warrant gutting and has a lengthy refurb needed.

The landlord sent a crew in to salvage for us, but they selectively salvaged the best stuff for themselves.We went and picked up the salvaged items and all in all had more left than originally expected, however I got back t-shirts and short sleeved clothes and am now in, at present, 20 degree temps.

We are looking at a minimum of 6 months to a year, probably 2 years, before we can go home and resume normalcy to any degree. We started over when we came here, and it looks like we'll be starting over again when we get to go home.

Until then, I'll sit here and sling porn and miss my Mississippi. But I'll be back down there ASAP.
