Managed to get 90% of the ammo and all of the magazines. My Donald Duck figurine collection was largely all right, and I was able to get about a fifth of the the vintage roleplaying games and 5% of the books. All clothes ruined. All furniture, bed and bedding, anything in the kitchen gone as well. Computer, hard drives, ipad, laptops are toast. Original “Revenge of the Jedi” movie poster destroyed.

Later today they’re throwing everything left into a dumpster.

I had a vacation planned to Thailand leaving today. Initially I was going to cancel, but I’ve decided to go ahead and take it. The only thing left to do is fill out an Excel spreadsheet listing destroyed assets that add up to al least $20K. I can do that in an afternoon on the laptop I just bought. I could really use a couple of weeks on the beach, eating delicious food and getting my back and legs pounded and kneaded. I’ll look for a new place when I get back.

BTW, the Red Cross is awesome.
