As a matter of fact it is passing as we speak as I have a crew downstairs right now removing the carpets, sanitizing the rooms and drying and de-humidifying the walls. In a week, it will seem as if nothing ever happened.Sharon shareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729464563424302375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19211835.post-1142890001191708192006-03-20T17:26:00.000-04:002006-03-20T17:26:00.000-04:00As a native New Orleanian with displaced family......As a native New Orleanian with displaced family...I can feel your pain...at least you still have most of your home in tact.

Maybe it wasn't ...Yeah it's all about perspective. Maybe it wasn't a devastating occurence but it was still totally jacked up and you should be mad as hell. Don't minimize what happened to you because it wasn't as bad as what happened to someone else. Putting it into perspective helps to keep us from turning into drama queens. It will be alright and one day it will be a funny story to tell around the dinner table.

I came home and water was pouring from the ceiling... Living room, dining room, kitchen and laundry room completerly soaked... My landlord didn't do much to help the situation, and we ended up living in a moldy and mildewy situation for 2 whole months. (Imagine mildew and mold climbing the wall; mushrooms growing in the hallway- Yikes)... This is probably the reason my cat got sick and died- exsposure to that mess.<BR/><BR/>But I too thought of the Katrina victims then, and I knew that things could have been much worse...<BR/><BR/>I moved into a new home, and these people had lost their homes- all they had, their whole lifestyles...<BR/><BR/>What impresses me about you is that even though you got angry/upset (which is TOTALLY understandable), you were able to put the situation in a proper perspective... Things could have been much worse...<BR/><BR/>Well, things will be alright, Oldgirl... Wet-vac and dry it out... you may have to replace some carpet and the lining... But at least you have your home, and a few inches of water doesn't compare to several feet... It's gonna be alright!!LadyLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14895667783148669410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19211835.post-1142797530570857832006-03-19T15:45:00.000-04:002006-03-19T15:45:00.000-04:00great post.. i had my basement flood.. it took wee...great post.. i had my basement flood.. it took weeks to get it back to normal.. but luckily it didnt ruin much.. i look at it as a blessing in disguise.. the laundry room needed to be retiled and the carpet in the basement needed to be replaced due to dirt stains.. although that smell wreaked.. its no longer there! and me and my family are ok!TTDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069984755252298238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19211835.post-1142716070659559332006-03-18T17:07:00.000-04:002006-03-18T17:07:00.000-04:00I shuddered when I saw the bookcase...I love books...I shuddered when I saw the bookcase...I love books so much...I hate to see that....<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry that happened to you..but remembering Katrina...well u hit me with that one.
