Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Thanks for checking in Sara. You sound very postive after having survived such an ordeal! I am really, really glad you are OK and have some good options in your court. Kelley New Half Marathoner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Sara, Glad to hear you're okay and that you'll be fine to rebuild/repair insurance-wise, although it must have definately been a rough couple of weeks! -Lianne > Hey y'all, > > I just got my internet connection back yesterday afternoon. Our house flooded with Hurricane Ivan. We are in a rental house for months while we either repair or rebuild our house. We live in a 35 year old house that was built on the ground on the Intracoastal Canal. Now, the houses must be built on pilings down there because of the threat of flooding. The canal has been there since 1932 and this is only the second time water has gotten in any of the houses down there. We were surprised by it. We'd like to either tear it down and rebuild it on pilings or raise the one we have. It's all dependent on what kind of loans we can get to do it. We have ample flood insurance so we'll be fine to repair it if we have to but we hate to face the threat of a flood again. Either way, the house will be totally new on the inside so that's an exciting thought. It's been a very long two weeks for us but I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Our town is devastated in the beach area but most of the houses back here where I live are fine. Out of my 18 students, none of them had any damage other than trees down in their yards. Most classes only had 2 or 3 kids with devastating damage to their homes. So, that's a good thing, too! > > Now that I have my computer back, I'll be around more. I hope I didn't miss too much the past two weeks!! > > Sara > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Good to hear you are regaining some normalcy in your lives. I hope you can rebuild higher so you don't have to deal with this ever again. Andy > Hey y'all, > > I just got my internet connection back yesterday afternoon. Our house flooded with Hurricane Ivan.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Sara, Thanks so much for letting us know how things are going. I'm so relieved that you and the family are okay! Sorry to hear that the house was flooded, but looks like you are looking forward to redecorating. Guess everything has a (tiny) silver lining, eh? Cheers, Jen B. > Hey y'all, > > I just got my internet connection back yesterday afternoon. Our house flooded with Hurricane Ivan.
