What kind of thing to say is that? I am sure insurance will pay in time. But what about his lifes work turn a house into a HOME. Insurance doesn't pay for the home. They don't pay for the suffering. I can go on but I think you get the point.

Sorry to hear about your lost. Everyone is in my prayers. Material things can be replaced, but to know you and your family are together is good news. It's great to see the rest of the country coming together to aid the countless others in that area during this time.

Sorry to hear. Was watching the news coverage last night for the 1st time and was simply awstruck. Good news is that the rest of the country is doing its best to help out. I am going around collecting right now at my consultants office as I just found out that my company is matching all contributions to the Red Cross. A bunch of the media giants in Philly have also initiated a relief effort called something like Operation Brotherly Love. I have also seen electric workers heading south from local utilities along with troops from local bases and various emergency personnel.

Please take care and let us know what more we can do to help!

Not quite... FL insurance policies generally have a 10-20% deductible against the VALUE of the home when a named storm is involved. It's huge!

I've been watching Fox news here in England and cannot take in what I'm seeing, I'm sure the American sprit will get you through this, I'm glad you're safe and hope things work out.

I really, really appreciate the concern, prayers and whatever contributions or efforts you guys are making on our behalf. Many of you are dead on when you say material things can be replaced - families can't. Our faith and the American spirit will get us through this somehow. Again, thanks from the bottom of my heart. Special thanks to Vetlagd, a local member who extended a helping hand. Rebuilding is tough but it must be - and it will be - done.
