If he wins, there's hope for my sister and her husband. Same thing happened to their home in Ocean Springs. They had a concrete block house on a concrete slab, and after the 35' storm surge hit it, all that was left was 20" of sand on the slab. They found a piece of a wall in the lot next door, and another 1/2 mile away on St. Andrews Golf Course. I don't think she's found any more of it. She's been digging in the sand, and walking the road, since a week after the hurricane, and has found a few of her things. The thing she was most pleased to find was the quilt she had made, with our siblings contributions of fabric squares, for our Mama's 75th birthday. It is stained now, and has a tiny tear, but otherwise, is fine.
Didn't your sister have flood insurance?
