jceman 1 #1 September 28, 2004 I told you this was not a good day. Took a disposable camera to get shots before the cleanup. Click here to check the pix out. What the shots don't show is the extent of the warping on the ceiling and the fact that the passenger side is wracked -- opening the door to get in was a real bitch. My guess is somewhere between $40K to a total. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Amazon 7 #2 September 28, 2004 Its not my fault.. I didnt do it. Seriously.. I am aware of all the suffering that the storms have visited on all our skydiving sisters and brothers there in Florida this year. I learned at a very early age that part of the cost of living in such a wonderful place is that sometimes it is not all that wonderful. Our family history is one that includes stories of flooding and devastation going back into the 1820's in FL. Some of my family down there is going thru it and will be adding their own personal stories to those that have gone thru past storms and the losses that they brought. My heart goes out to all of you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #4 September 28, 2004 Scottish Irish Oh and great grandmother was Seminole. My grandmothers family was in the Tampa area... and my grandfathrs family homesteaded around the Sanford-Palatka area where my mother was born. When the territory was aquired from the Spanish they moved down from the Carolina's. To this day we have relatives all around the Tampa area down to Ruskin... some up around Ocala... many in Jacksonville area..... and quite a few in the Orlando- Deland area. That was one of the reaons I left.. TOO DAYUM many relatives down there.. and Washington state is just the right distance away.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #5 September 28, 2004 Definitely totalled. I feel incredibly sorry for you guys; that's your castle. I lost my awning in the last one, but only because I neglected to lower it (or the wind pulled it back up) and it filled with water and ripped. I hope you have good insurance.

I lost my awning in the last one, but only because I neglected to lower it (or the wind pulled it back up) and it filled with water and ripped. I hope you have good insurance. Well, the adjuster was here this morning and his gut feeling is the same as ours, Chuck. "It has lost structural integrity." Looks like they'll be totalling it. Insurance isn't a problem -- this falls under the classification of Comprehensive damage, hence only a $100 deductible; the problem is that totalling it out will not replace it and we cannot either. And if you read Lisa's latest statement, I can more than likely write off The Drop Shop. . . Someone make it stop, please. Please? Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

ChasingBlueSky 0 #13 September 28, 2004 Can you get a second adjuster out there to see if someone could repair it? For the money you may get for totaling it, you may be able to put it towards repairs instead. Hoping the store is ok! When will you find out?_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

jceman 1 #14 September 29, 2004 Actually, the adjuster is simply confirming what I and the other RV owners who saw our coach have felt (as well as the RV body tech I spoke with at the selling dealership). There are times you have to simply fold up your tent and steal away into the night. This is one of those times. Still no word on the store, btw, I talked with the Indian River Emergency folks tonight and they could not give me an answer. They did tell me, however that Roseland Road (the main road to the DZ) had been flooded in spots. The store is on what passes for high ground in FL, but it is the glass exposure on the east end that concerns me; there was nothing in front of it to protect it from the wind or, more importantly, the wind-driven debris. Word is that it may be at least three weeks before power gets restored in the area. The county was hit extremely hard. Those of you who know the area are well acquainted with the Sandrift Motel, the second story is gone; Capt. Hiram's sustained major damage and the road along the river has been washed away in many areas. I'm not complaining, folks, just letting out what information I have. I have tried to get in touch with BendyWendy, but have had no luck. The ES folks assured me she is not on any casualty list, just out of touch as the phones are out and cellular service is spotty at best. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.
