Neither FEMA nor the insurance company representative have found their way to my son's house yet. USAA car insurance did show up in a jiffy and cut him a check for the two destroyed cars. The inventory in Houston is shaky and sparse. They ended up with a Hyundai Accent and a Chevy Equinox with 75,000 miles on it and a timing tick that hopefully doesn't get any worse.
The house is stripped to the six foot mark, has been sprayed with anti bacteria and mold killer and is drying out very slowly. The kitchen is bare from the top cabinets down, the bathroom is gutted, the bedroom the same, the garage the same, the living and dining room ditto. It's all going to be replaced as the money is available...that on top of the mortgage and taxes just like you were living there. Ain't life grand.
Not crossing fingers waiting for Uncle Sam to help. Don't think it is going to happen. Ain't life grand?
