The safe was bolted down , it didn't move just everything else. I'll be fine cut i have insurance I'm worried about my friend that didn't. And since the wife and kid and now cat are safe all I have left to do is rebuild.

same here I had to work a 24 yesterday, and still working today, my wife and 3 little boys are stuck in French settlement, they are high and dry, and running on a generator!!! all the bridges are flooded.... have you ever had to explain to your wife how to start and plug up a generator through text, WOW!!!!!!! but I must say I am truly BLESSED!!! I pray every day for yall who have lost everything!!! I pray for comfort, strength, power, safety, closure, and for GOD to lead you in the path you need to go on to kick the devil in the face and make a come back!!!! In Jesus name!!! once work lets me leave and I can make it on the other side of the river and get my wife and little boys secured if anybody is in the port Vincent/French settlement area and need anything, message me!!! I will do what I can, if I can get you gas, food, water, help, or just somebody to talk to im hear for ya fellas, I got plenty of ammo if yours went under water also lol
I have an empty house in Kenner, LA with electricity, water and A/C if a family can use it.
My house in Hammond faired out okay -- water came up but did not get in house. BTW, a few feet of water in the house is repairable, my best friend's house took about a 1' or so during Isaac. The key is to get the wet stuff out as fast as you can, if you still have power, let your AC run on the coldest setting. We cut all the sheetrock 24" above floor, we were fortunate that it did not get to the electrical.
AND if you hire a contractor to do your repairs:
Do NOT tell the contractor what your insurance settlement (if you had flood insurance) was. Make sure you get a FIRM FIXED PRICE for the work to be accomplished and a CONTRACT to do the work WITH a Not to Exceed completion Date!!! I'd even have the contract notarized. If the contractor will not give you this, move on. DO NOT get into a "Time & Materials" contract as you will get burned. Make sure the contractor is licensed, insured and bonded!!
Good luck my BS friends.
