You really have bragging rights if your home is the only one still standing!
I’m trying to decide if I would consider myself lucky, or unlucky, if I was one of those houses that is still standing.
On the plus side, you’ve still got your worldly possessions (assuming the inside of the house wasn’t under water).
On the negative side, it will be months or years before your neighborhood is put back together, but because your house is standing you are stuck living there with a house you can’t sell.
If your house was destroyed, you get your check and can move on.
