Preacher July 5, 2008 Share Preacher Member July 5, 2008 As some of you know I bought a new home in May and moved in. Our old house was still for sale when the flood his the midwest here in Missouri. My house is currently in that flood zone and from what I have seen it's had about 3 foot of water standing in the house for about 2 weeks now. I know God will provide but I would love to see that in the works now. FEMA may give me some disaster relief funds but the house will more than likely need somewhere in the area of $20,000 to get it back to where it was prior to the flood. The worst part of all this is that I did not have flood insurance, as it is not part of regular policies in Missouri so nothing is covered. Pray for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preacher July 8, 2008 Author Share Preacher Member July 8, 2008 Water receded enough for me to get to it yesterday. It's bad, all the carpet flooring, floor joists, doors, fridge, stove, dishwasher, furnace, air conditioner, cabinets, drywall and insulation are a total loss.

Preacher July 10, 2008 Author Share Preacher Member July 10, 2008 going to head out and meet with the FEMA guy now, not sure what this will entail but it's scary when you don't have insurance. Thanks for all the encouragement guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage July 10, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member July 10, 2008 Wow. I missed this thread somehow. Sorry to hear this buddy! This really sucks. I hope it works out with the Fema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher July 10, 2008 Author Share Preacher Member July 10, 2008 we'll know in 7-10 days how much they will give me. Pray for me in general guys my spirits are a bit low with so much going on. I had a puppy die of a bad dog disease called parveau (sp) and I have 4 more that could have it plus the mom and dad. Money is really tight and getting tighter plus I have $40,000 in damage to a house and a max of $25,000 and I'm not sure I'll get that much to be honest. I'm just feeling overwhelmed I guess.
