A True Doomsday Prepper
Apparently, assistance is for what they deem "essential" repair, but I get that. Still, if we get anything out of it, something is better than nothing. I'm not one to say we're entitled to anything, but not looking a gift horse in the mouth either...
A lot of our damage was either recreation or business related:
The wind killed my gazebo and the above ground pool (we had it drained, as was after the swimming season). It also tore up our road sign for the business, along with knocking down the mounted life size horse mannequin up there. When the power came back, a few things didn't work (so some kind of surge, etc.), such as the lights on said sign, as well as the external outlet (which is on the same circuit). Also, our hot walker (automatic horse walker), no longer works.
But, the stuff that would be covered:
Same surge knocked out one of the two AC units, so that counts. Other exterior lights damaged, are covered, as a security issue. While the porch roof and screens aren't really considered "essential", as they cause a safety hazzard, she'll see what she can do.
All in all, it was actually a pretty pleasant experience, and I had a good rapport with the inspector, and older lady, who works as a Construction Project Manager. So, just hoping anyone else who hasn't, and is in one of the affected areas, files their claim before it is too late, and can get an idea of what they help with, from my account above. Any help is better than nothing.
