Well, it's been a week since the storm here at my house. I've been working in the evenings since last Monday to clear out my garage and moved all of the material I've torn out and ruined boxes. It's a pile of stuff about the size of a van. I have all of the carpet and padding torn out of the room that got flooded.

The American Family insurance adjuster has come and gone, along with a salesman for a local roofing company. I have to wait 7 to 10 days for a response back from the insurance company, but he said that I was getting a new roof. But I'm not getting anything for the wet and ruined carpet I had to tear out, because I don't have flood insurance. One of my neighbors said his insurance couldn't sell him flood insurance because we don't live in a flood plane. I'm going to have to check with my insurance company, but it probably won't do any good. They'll probably say something along the lines of, oh we would have sold it to you, but you never asked for it, blah, blah.
