My House is Dead

[Schmidty]

I'm typing this from a hotel room. I'm not sure if you guys have heard about the windstorms here in the puget sound, but there's been gusts of up 90 mph, and unfortunately for us, one of those gusts knocked down four trees, 3of which crushed our roof, and one which tore down the powerlines in the front yard.

There's a ton of damage, and I have no idea how long it'll be before the power is on, and the roof is fixed. This really, really sucks.

Fuck. Sorry to hear that, Schmidty.

Is your insurance company at least paying for your hotel room?

[Schmidty]

Fuck. Sorry to hear that, Schmidty.

Is your insurance company at least paying for your hotel room?

No, but I'm lucky enough to be an employee of the hotel (night manager), so I won't have to pay much, if anything for the room.

On the bright side, hopefully this takes a lot of time off your commute for a while..

(I know, silverlining in a huge fucking cloud, but.. take what you can get)

[Honolulu_Blue]

Damn. I am sorry to hear that, Schmidty. It sounds like everyone's ok, which is good, but I'm really sorry about your house.

Good luck and I wish you the best.

Hang in there, man...

[Lorena]

Aww man, sorry to hear that Schmidty :(

Our franchises have been dealing with the results of this all day. It sounds like a horrible storm. All the best sir.

[DanGarion]

Dude that sucks, good thoughts your way man.

[Passacaglia]

Sorry to hear that, Schmidty. Good luck dealing with it all.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

Dang... Is it just wind or rain too?

Hope things are ok, other than a little property damage...

[st.cronin]

Best wishes, Schmidty - that's one of my worst nightmares, being raped by nature like that.

[JediKooter]

Holy crap! I'm sorry to here that. I hope everyone stays safe and that the damage isn't too bad to your belongings.

[Izulde]

Ouch! That sucks :(

[path12]

Man, sorry to hear that Schmidty. No trees down around my house, but I expect the power to go anytime.

[bulletsponge]

tough break Schmidty. but the most important thing is you and your loved ones are alright

[DaddyTorgo]

HULK ANGRY!! HULK SMASH THINGS!!

shit man...that's not cool at all. Glad to hear everyone is okay though. Guess that's why you have insurance.

[Dr. Sak]

I'm sorry buddy.

[Schmidty]

Thanks guys (and lady).

At this point, it's looking like anywhere between 2 and 7 days before our place is habitable. I'll find out for sure tomorrow morning. The things I'm most worried about is our animals and the fact that I'm not there to guard my stuff from people who might try to take advantage of the fact that it's obvious that we aren't home.

[Neuqua]

Good luck homey.

[cougarfreak]

Hope it all works out, glad you and the family are safe.

[JeeberD]

Ouch, sorry to hear that, Schmidty. Hopefully everything gets repaired/replaced without too much of a hassle...

[JeffNights]

Well, bright side at least House Insurance covers all that..at least it really should...

[Crim]

Dammit, Schmidty, this sucks. Glad at least you and the family are safe. Good luck putting things back together.

[Toddzilla]

Holy crap....I'm soooo sorry to hear about that, man.

One piece of advice I can offer is this - as soon as you can, and as **safely** as you can, go back to your house and grab as many valuables and sentimental items as you can. Looters are everywhere and love the opportunity to sneak into a destroyed house and grab what they can.

And let us know if there is *anything* that we can do to help you work things out.

Glad to hear everyone is safe, hope they get your house up and running quickly!
