Nov 6

especially after the frenzy to get the estate closed.

It was so much work...I almost gave up.

I was also walking around the neighborhood in the beginning helping people get their shit together. Fema only gave people so much time to strip the walls of their houses, and then board them up in preparation for demolition.

Fema came through with about $10,000 for us. Others received some compensation for their destroyed homes.

I'd post a video, but I don't want to dox myself. One of my neighbors was going around in a canoe, and they had to DUCK UNDER power lines!!!
