Lost everything... except the vette
My house is (was?) 2 blocks from the beach on MS Gulf Coast. My family evacuated, but my town was smashed. Made the decision to drive two cars instead of one. Managed to find an enclosed garage at a relative's house which saved the vette from the bad weather in Meridian. Tough not knowing if there's anything left; can't get to my house to survey.

Most of all - glad you and your family are safe. As the others have said, most everything else can be replaced. I'm sure there are heirlooms and irreplaceable things like photos and papers......
Best of luck to you and your family.

Sorry to hear that. Its a natural dessaster, can't blame anyone, but only keep your faith in God and we pray that everything you (and others) lost comes back to you multiplied. Most importantly, it good to know you and your family are safe. (Also good job on saving the Vette)God Speed...
