Trying to steal a police care isn’t desperation...it’s dumbassery at its finest. He paid the ultimate price.

Why am I surprised by this?In complete and total fairness, these stores are getting massive insurance payouts regardless. They'll have records of their most recent inventory.
It's still stealing, but the stores/companies are going to make out alright (as long as they have insurance).
Been home now since Thursday. Cell signal came back last night, although real slow. Pretty sad state the city is in and only gets worse the farther east you head. My house is beach side and faired well. Sis in laws place got damaged really badly. My wife's Pathfinder is in her garage and we havent been able to get it out yet. Power and water to beach side is mostly restored. town and rural areas still are without. Spent the last week helping neighbors and friends and scrounging up supplies to donate. My son's preschool and swim lessons place we're destroyed. Most schools were; estimates for kids going back are between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Notes:
If you're justifying or minimizing looting bc insurance will cover it, I honestly just feel sorry for you because noone raised you with any sense of morals or decency; or basic economics either.
Tyndall AFB is probably 30% of the local economy. Just walking away would be devastating to PC, so thanks for the sensitivity in people's times of need.

many of the schools WERE evac shelters. And yet... many were destroyed. My son's preschool was built to withstand 150mph sustained and was full of evacuees. It's now a wreck. Thankfully everyone there was unharmed.Glad you are safe and that things could have been worse, Durty.
I would have hoped that schools would be shelters and thus survive the worst of it...sounds like the opposite. Thoughts are with you, your family, and your town.
Glad you are safe.
How is the response in those isolated rural areas to the best of your knowledge? Have the responders and aid supplies reached them?
Is you know of an organization that is helping these people who need funds/supplies, post it here for us.
Thanks.

it's good my man. I finished all the immediate needs Wednesday evening, got the family back down and moved back in yesterday and headed back out this morn. Got some additional small repairs to do but it will have to wait, they are low priority and contractors arent interested in those right now. Back to the land of tv, internet, and cell signal!How’s the recovery situation coming along Durty?
