But today my granddaughter gave birth to healthy twin boys! Kind of puts things in perspective! Happy!

3. Condolences and congratulations!

Can't beat grandkids, especially when they come in pairs.

Where is your summer home? I'm in NE Georgia mountains, lots of Fla. snow birds up here.

4. Howdy

Used to live in Murphy NC but missed the kids in Illinois, so here we are. Afraid SW Florida will be damaged for years. Guess I'll have to buy some boots this year😫

5. Hip boots, probably

Sorry you have this to take some of the shine of the grandbabies.

I am in Hiawassee, not too far from Murphy.

11. Congratulations, and don't give up....

Back when Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey, my sister's house on Long Beach Island, a barrier island only about four blocks wide, was 10 miles from where it made land fall. They weren't allowed on the island for almost a month, imagine the anxiety of not knowing how bad the damage was.

When they finally got to the house, not a single bit of damage - NONE. And no flooding.

Fluky things can happen. Good luck.

16. You've got your priorities straight and a great attitude. Praying your house will be ok....

...for me, it's not the house or the material things - those can be replaced. It's those sentimental things like family pictures, handed down knicknacks, the memories the house holds, etc.

[snowybirdie]

17. You're right

These babies have been anticipated for six years and are a miracle! It'll be a pain for years to settle the mess, but I can watch these little ones grow and be proud. The house can go. Family is more important.

Congrats to all!

Sorry about the house though.

My best friend just had his second child born the day Harvey hit me (He lives in Alabama), but was bummed about his rent house in Key Largo on his birthday yesterday. I told him the same thing you just posted!
