Hurricane Irma

Yeah that's my concern

 

@notbostrom
Whatever you do, don't sign an Assignment of Benefits with anyone. It takes your power as the insured away and no matter what they tell you, they cannot legally represent the damage on your behalf. Only an attorney or Licensed Public Insurance Adjuster can do so.

 

Awesome, I'll pass it along. I'm sure he'll claim whatever he can.

 

PMed you my cell. Call at any time if there are questions or concerns.

 

Just one more reason racing people are good people. Thanks a million.

 

@notbostrom .. there are fire/disaster restoration companies like Service pro, Belfore, etc. that do exactly what you are looking for.. google "fire restoration near me" or something like that. I've used em for stuff like this.

 

What Greg said is true, but would like to point out that all of those guys are franchises. As with anything else, some are great and some are terrible, so do your research. Or I'd be happy to do some digging for you as I know a lot of guys in that industry.

 

were some folks stuck at Road A ? can't imagine what some were dealing with that had to head south after this weekend..

 

Duke FL has received 230k outage calls, can't remember how many out, maybe 180k. NC & SC have 60k power outages.

 

Yup.. 4.5 MIL in FL (statewide) without power if I heard reports correctly.

 

With Hugo, there were people here that didn't have power for nearly 3 weeks. It sure changes the way that you live. I hope it is restored quicker there. The wife's boss called looking for volunteers to go to Florida. I grabbed the phone and told him she would be ready for pick up in 30 minutes or less and she could stay until the last bulb was lit.

 

Damn, I just saw the first news from Marathon and it's bad. Looks like the scenes from St. Martin. They flew over what appeared to be the house we lived in. We were on the Atlantic side, second house from the ocean on a canal. Beautiful location, and we rented the bottom of the house for $400 a month. Even had a Key Lime tree right out my door. I'd cut one off and mix it in my Meyer's, then just sit on the end of the canal staring at the ocean.

All I saw was the foundation.

 

This makes me happy

Edit from above.. Mayor of Naples just stated there are SIX million across FL without power (including me - gen only, yes, a quiet one). Many could be without for a good while. Yes, as jrsamples sated, hopefully not as long as when Andrew came through Homestead. Neighbor was there, 40 blocks from the total devastation. Her family was without power for 2 full weeks at that time.

 

Damn, Cali to Florida. That's a pretty good drive. Good luck and keep us updated.

 

Fortunately I'm in Wisconsin. Supposed to head back to SD on Friday but I heard Florida is really nice this time of year...

 

I have an ole lady in Altamonte Springs who was without power two weeks from Charley. I'm expecting a very very long recovery. I saw a piece of I4 washed out at 434. Blocks and blocks of no light. My neighbourhood sounds like a paddock.

Omatter I reached out to Pilot. This is what brought me to FL 12 or so years ago. This one will take a while.
