Just an update….

I’m home safe and sound, and other than a huge mess as far as the yard and pool are concerned, we sustained no damage. Of course I wasn’t too happy about throwing out all the food in my refrigerator and freezer since power was out for 2 1/2 days. But, all things considered, we were extremely lucky.

Again, thanks to all for the prayers and concern. And regarding Bob #2’s comment about “moving out of the trouble zone”... Which planet did you have in mind, Bob? <g>

Glad you are home Charlie. and everything is OK.

Welcome back. I’m glad things are too bad. Hopefully you escape the trouble brewing out in the Caribbean.

Hey Charlie,

I’m an insurance agent in washington state and i make sure to build in coverage for spoild food from power outages. I’d check your homeowners insurance because food spoilage coverage is a fairly common coverage which will give you 200-1000 for lost food! If you don’t have that coverage call your agent because it’s VERy inexpensive just a few bucks a year. Good luck hope this helps.

Glad to hear that Mother Nature did not throw you a curve ball. Things will be back to normal before you know it and then it will be time to swear at lumber again.

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

Brad, thanks for the tip. I know my insurance covers food spoilage because we collected for it after Katrina. But I’m pretty sure my deductible still applies, and down here they have a special higher deductible that applied to anything hurricane-related. I’ll check it out, though.

Thanks, Guys!

Great to see “CharlieM1958” in the upper left hand corner of a post. Be healthy and make us a box.

WELCOME BACK

Glad to have you home safe and sound.

-- If we learn from our mistakes, I'm getting a fantastic education.

Don’t throw the food away, bag it.

-- ??? My mistakes heat the house. It's very warm in here. ???

Welcome home buddy. Glad that you are back.

Glad you are back safe and sound….. It’s always a good thing to hear good news.

Ummm…Ike is coming and you guys are in the way again! But I’m glad you all faired well and damage was at a minimum for you. Was watching the last storm pound New Orleans’ “new” levee walls on CNN, and I got to tell ya, they need to go a couple feet higher dude. That last storm was only a grade 2…Katrina was grade 5+ and Ike is already building into a major blow. Best of luck to ya and if ya need a woodshop to hide out in for a week give me a call. We’d welcome ya.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Dadoo, thanks for the offer. Hopefully, I won’t have to go thatfar north to get out of Ike’s way. :-)

That video you are talking about was pretty scary, but overtopping there would have only flooded the lower 9th ward again… not the whole city. They are in the process of building floodgates that would keep storm water from ever entering that particular waterway, but completion is still a couple of years out.

Charlie, glad to hear you and your family are well!

Hi Charlie,

Actually you shouldn’t have a deductible for your freezer contents. your deductible should only apply to a structural loss or damage. This is sweet I’m technically “working” while i’m writing this and I’m also on a woodworking site….. sweet. To bad I can’t write insurance from my workbench.

Thanks, Brad. I’ll pass this on to my financial manager (LOML, SWMBO, take your pick).
