I live just outside of Houston. We will have flood-damaged household belongings in piles along our streets for the next eighteen months at least. They pick up the trash with a front-end loader right now.

That said, my aunt and cousins are about 3 miles from the evacuation zone in Santa Rosa.

Sometimes you get whacked in the head right after the bus hits you.

Thanks to all for really great info and suggestions. I'm sending the info to my cousins and keeping a copy for the next hurricane.
