A good friend's house in Old Hickory (suburb of Nashville) flooded last night. He got in today by boat, and it appears that the water "only" came in the house a few inches. He has flood insurance but only minimal coverage, so the house will get fixed, but there's no coverage for his stuff. His wife was loading up their car in the driveway that didn't have full coverage, but couldn't get out fast enough, so it's gone. They also have a Honda hybrid that was fubared sitting in the garage and two motorcycles. I think those had full coverage insurance. His Frontier was at the airport parking lot...
He's hoping to get in by Wednesday with his truck and get out what he can. I may drive out there with my Frontier and see if I can help him get as much out as possible before the mold and humidity destroy what didn't get wet. I don't know how long of a window he'll have to get stuff out before it's a lost cause.
Does anyone have any flood disaster recovery experience? I suspect I should take lots of bug spray for mosquitos... anything else? Will it be a lost cause trying to get electronics out that didn't get touched by water if they've been sitting in that much humidity for a few days?
