Never thought about the insurance issues but of course you are right - how can you (anyone) ever rebuild if you can't get insurance? - unless flood is excluded but then your risk might be too great. That sucks.

kscarrol, i almost cried when i read all your posts and saw the pics :'(. especially when i was reading about your neighbor :'(. i have to say and i rarely say it to other people...you are an amazing person [attachment=14246:attachment]! your attitude toward this whole thing is something that i have to learn and it'll be a life long lesson but i know i will never be as good as you 
. best of luck to you, your family, friends, relatives, neighbors and everybody in the big easy.

Thank you alohalc, kind words indeed! But I beg to differ, you strike me as a positive person. No one is prepared to deal with these things, they are thrust upon you and you either let it rule your life or you decide to move on. I suspect you would have no problems moving on as well. Its not easy, but you do what you have to inorder to survive. Having the health and strength of my family, makes it easier to deal with.
Now if I had lost my 545, my reaction might have been different!!!

I'd love to! You should send the tickets to... wait you're not paying for the tickets? Seriously, we'll make it out there someday, hopefully soon. Neither my wife or I have ever been to Hawaii, we'd love to go some day. Right now, all free cash flow is going to buy new furniture. Maybe in a year or two. Fortunately we are very conservaticve on the finances, so we owed very little own our house and had plenty of rainy day cash set aside.

Meeting went as well as can be expected.? As expected my insurance company (USAA) is basically totalling everything in my zip code.

Fortunately your conservative life style puts you in a better postion than most. You had a very nice home with plenty of space. Hopefully you can duplicate it. The 545 gives solace.
