Hurrican Sandy a week later

Have not felt like playing all that much in the last week.  My in laws home at the NJ shore is not completely destroyed, but anything lower than 3 feet off the floor in the house is gone.  Televisions, DvD players, furniture, beds, hot water heater, carpets, and all the lower 4 feet of drywall is now out at the curb, along with thousands of others in the area.  The entire house has been scrubbed down with bleach and cleansers. I will have to go over it again later when it is all dry.  Carpets were developing mold on the back, and they are synthetic, so never let anyone tell you they could be saved and cleaned.

Hole in the back wall of the shed is more of a door now.  The dock survived without damage, many neighbors have floating docks on top of their upper docks, many boats are gone.  Two area marinas are gone.  So worrying about getting a daily done, or maxing valor for the week, or getting LFR run is not all that important right now.

The insurance on the house does not cover anything, and because it is not a "Principal residence" they are pretty much screwed.  We will rebuild it all.  My plans to redo my bathroom nest year are on hold, seeing them worried and not being able to see the damage because we are concerned for their health is tough.  But we will fix it all, and they will be able to enjoy spending time down the shore, fishing and crabbing.
