Our hearts and prayers go out to the good people of Texas. I just flat cannot imagine the amount of rain they are getting.

Keep on smokin',

Thanks Cliff. It seems like we are halfway through this storm. I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Glad to hear you and your family are okay. Got to be a scary experience. Barb was asking about you also I'll let her know you are hanging in there.
 
I just wanted to check back in. My family came through this without any damage, but there are a lot of people who lost a lot. We have been fortunate to have all the volunteers helping out, so many civilians with their boats out rescuing people. It's really inspirational to see everybody helping those in need. I am an insurance agent and have been extremely busy helping people with their losses. I just wanted touch base with everyone. Texas is strong and will come out of this situation even stronger.
 
Yeah, I like the "Texas Attitude" about things - particularly when the "going gets tough":

It may be a bit of an over-generalization, but Texans typically don't whine about things (at least, not for long) - they generally roll-up their shirt sleeves and DEAL with it head-on.

Say no more. I know what the local agents went through when Hugo affected our area. While our damage was nothing compared to Texas, our local agents took a lot of heat when insured folks found out their freezer food stocks were not covered during the long-term power outage.

I, thankfully, never lost power, but I was in the minority.

Good to see you & yours is OK. :)

Yes, it has been most impressive, lots of people stepping up. We have had support from everywhere, Louisiana always comes and helps out. I was driving on the tollway yesterday and saw a convoy from Orange County................California. Trust me, all the help is much appreciated and needed. Texas is a mess right now.

Thanks Rusty. It is always good to read your policy and know what is covered and what is not covered. It is a boring read, but at least you know what is covered. Jewelry and firearms have limits on coverage, be sure and talk to your agent about the items you own.
