    Those poor people get it every year in Florida.  Have a family member who lives there; house has been severely damaged two times.  Did a complete restoration only to have it happen again, so much work.  Imagine this year won't be any different.  
    In the midwest, we are having a bad storm with winds from 25-46 MPH, all I'm worried about is the gutters filling up with leaves. Such a small worry in comparison.

    You need to get filters for your gutters so the leaves don't collect in them.  I'm sorry for your family, but after two such devastating restorations, I would think about moving to higher ground.  The insurance must be astronomical - assuming they can get it.   This post was edited by Spunky at September 27, 2024 4:28 PM MDT

    They may have received emergency funds from the government if they didn't have insurance.

    Helene has been with me a couple of days and I'm worn out.  The storm was so large it covered the whole state.  My house is fine but I think my car may be a goner.  I left it over at my sister's and their storm surge was more than ours and the car got flooded.  I haven't even seen it.  Too tired to care.  I'll go over there tomorrow or Sunday and open it up.   I'm sure if I should call insurance or maintenance people.  When water went into the car reports are that the interior lights came on.  How strange.  Anyway.............
