I was standing in my dining room and trying to imagine what it would be like to be in chest deep water. I just cannot imagine it. The boarded window is really and oddity when compared against how high the water is inside.
And tspikes51 you are right...it appears they got off easy but the house will be a total loss. The entire structure will not be sound after sitting in water for this long. They still don't have a good answer from their insurance company but they have gotten some help from them. He has a new job in Tennessee. His wife and two girls aged 7 and 9 are in CA with her parents but when they went out there they took nothing but a couple days worth of clothing thinking that they'd be able to go back home in just a few days. She was a school teacher in New Orlean's and is now jobless. The two girls are enrolled in a school in southern CA. They literally have to start over. All in all they are really among the lucky but what a horrible tragedy nonetheless.
