Guys.... i'm tearin' up.... Shelly and I are extending heartfelt thanks toyouguys through and through.... i'm at marty's in tears at what youve done..... He has stepped up to the plate for me, as many have done.... the few who posted and have ANY idea of procedures with FEMA, ( non existent, yet), the non existence of flood insurance, or any other helpful procedure we can do, PLEASE let us know.... my vehicles are the only thing covered by my insurance, we found out today...... there are thousands of people here in the same situation.....
Derek thornton on here too, will have lost his home, and i, have talked with him, and he was required to have flood insurance on a new home sale..... if the city allows free travel he will be around and we'll see his position in this time too......
i'm of a one day at a time scenario, recovered some stuff today....
tommorow marty and i will boat in and recover more......
My boats, i got today, were ok kinda...(oil sludge, and dirt) Marty and I have emergency pickled everything, mechanical wise, my electronics are still under water.......ideas on salvage, are needed... tommorow i'll try and find them in the floating mess........
I am trying to call people as i can that call me..... we are searching for shelter, and priorities, keep overwhelming the communication with some of the best friends I have.......here, and away.... I will get to you please have patience.......
I actually boated in to get my guns today, before some other idiot does..... and finding boats floating around, and the water chest high in my garage, i loaded up everything our club retrieval paddle boat could carry....
i've said it.... i'll not be knocked down.... i've worked hard all my life, my wife has too.... we will get through this.... she has lost a great deal more than I, and crying herself to sleep, rips me up......
i'm standing tall, you guys rock, and i'll extend for now, all the thanks to any, and all that are sending help,
sob story typin is not in my rationale, and I regret even airing, things neednt be.....
i'll try and get on as I can, and appreciate what everyone is doing.... Terry.... you rank, mac daddy..... maybe i will race at mendota!.... Food, shelter, and transport, are job 1, and i'm trying..... see you guys, I cannot express gratitude through a computer.... some of you, i've shaken hands with..... others i will..... i'll be around as i can..... God Bless you all.... Mike
