Hurricane Ian: When you sit and watch the damage done by hurricanes or tornadoes or other disasters throughout the world on TV, you sit and think “so sad”, but when those affected are family and friends, it is a whole different matter. Our old neighborhood in Florida has been decimated; Our Pastor’s home demolished; the childcare center and school fared pretty well, but the Church, the structure I worried about the least, has so much structural damage. Thank God our daughter, who lives north of Tampa, and our grandson, who lives north of Orlando, were spared. We are so fortunate that we sold our winter home in Florida. I cannot imagine what we would do, I wouldn’t know where to begin. The snowbirds who live in our old neighborhood are wanting to know how much damage was done to their home. The permanent residents just cannot deal with someone else’s property when they have so much to handle with their own. And, now, they are having to deal with looters. If you are a pray-er, please pray for all those affected. You just have no idea until it touches “home”.
Here are some more papers and brads (or whatever those things are called ... LOL). ENJOY!

So true - I'm in California, my brother's house burned last month - he's 83. All records gone so only way to prove what was lost is in photos. I'm the family historian and grab every photo I can. You don't have to live in a danger zone to need photos of belongings. Make copies and place with other people just in case. Take pictures of receipts for big purchases. Forgive the intrusion but total loss is impossible to comprehend. You're in shock trying to remember little things.
great idea and good advice. I have photos of everything.
