That outage map gives a pretty good picture of where the biggest damage is. However, there are some smaller entities that don’t publish outage data including one in northeast TN into the west edge of North Carolina. Still, very good information. But a lot of people are sitting right along that state border and may not even have a house any more, let alone power.

But still, a great link.

The death toll has surpassed 90 souls from Hurricane Helene.

Fun story--Flood insurance adjuster just left. Go figure--he was off a jolly good start when he saw the U.S. flag flying out front. I asked whether I can claim wet ammo as a loss. Sure, he said, if you want the government to know you store ammo.

As the adjuster was leaving, he said, "Don't pay full amount to any contractors--just deposits until work is completed. And DON'T give political donations, they will never leave you alone!" I asked him when he last donated to a political campaign. 2020, he said. Trump. I said I was mad at Trump for junking up my mail and email inboxes. He said, "Don't be mad at Trump!" Then he started shouting TRUMP!, TRUMP!! TRUMP!!! as he got into his FEMA NFIP truck and drove away. ROFLMAO!

I’d say go ahead and claim the lost ammo. The government knows about you already—you’re a FReeper.

Actually, one of the few famous FReepers!

No experience here, but it seems to me that the first and quickest insurance applicants get the quickest insurance service.

Was claim #25 for flood insurance. Adjuster left an hour ago. I thought 8" inside, he said 11". All appliances, lower cabinets, and furniture are write-off. See fun story above.

Great to see the adjuster in and out so quickly. 11” - a little extra to account for “waves” and prevent arguments.

Was it Jake, from State Farm?

What was he wearing? Khakis?

Ha! The adjuster and his trainee are both bona fide FEMA NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) government wonks. They were wonderful for a couple of bureaucrats!

Your explanation makes sense with the water level differences.

Ouch--one of my neighbors doesn't have flood ins., the other has dwelling coverage only, without contents. They are in for deep pocket expenses.

Name two things that these locations have in common: Florida panhandle, Georgia, western North Carolina, South Carolina, and Alabama.
Answer:
1. All have been pounded absolutely flat by the strongest hurricane ever to hit the region in recorded history, and
B. All vote solid Republican, which is apparently why FEMA hasn’t lifted a finger anywhere in the region, according to residents there.

Ah, the sweet melody of chainsaws after a big storm. Did your electric bill cycle end before the storm made landfall? Next month should reflect the days without service. Thank you for checking in with a progress update. Hang in there.

Forgive me, FRiend! I meant to answer sooner. Mt Airy is beautiful, we visited some years ago. We were without power for a good 14 hours.
