[UPDATE] Here's the 360 video:
I wasn't able to go help today. The plan for this morning was to tear up the deck in the backyard. At 5p, I went to check out the progress. It didn't look like M&M were home.I took another 360 video in the back yard to record the progress. The deck and mud room/porch is completely gone. All of the tree debris was gone.
I never saw this house before 2 days ago. In that time, the change has been stunning. I can't imagine what it's like for M&M seeing their house/yard/etc. wrecked less than 3 months after moving in. They were both handling it like champs when I saw them. We talked about all the great changes that would come because of the storm - new fence, yard, deck. New roof, windows, kitchen floor. The insurance appraiser came by today and though the adjuster agreed that some things were total write-offs, they were under-insured according to her blog, so I'm not sure where the balance sheet settles.
FEMA was in the area today evaluating the amount of damage to determine if there is enough damage to be considered a Federal disaster. So there may be some hope for money there. Also, a utility pole with a transformer fell on the garage and put a big hole on the roof ridge, so I hope for them the City or the utility company will cover that damage.
The blur of trying to make everything safe is over and I think the Big Wait is coming. I know we'll have a great time later this summer replanting the yard.
bed...must go to bed...
