That's all I can say
We lost everything we own.
I have been so excited to retire and play in my sewing room.
I had (notice I said had) everything I could ever want or need.
This is my 2016 Maxima after the water went down.
The morning of the 13th the water came in so fast we had to wait in the truck until we were rescued.
That's my husband's truck and my car in the background.
We were at 2 1/2' within 2 hours.
My house took almost 6' of water
I took this on our1st walk thru of the house.
This is my embroidery machine.
The quilting machine is behind it.
Both machines were under water for 4 days
This is a picture of my life in front of my house.
Everyone's house looks just like this
Nothing left -
heartbreaking to throw away all my beautiful fabric and machines.
It was gutted today
It will be along time before I will be able to do any sewing.
We ended up being boated out of 3 places last Saturday
Ended up staying with strangers for a few days.
Now we are at my daughters.
Who know what will come next or how long it will take our town to recover.
We are blessed that we were able to survive -

I'm so sorry. What an awful experience to have to endure. I'm so glad you and your husband are safe. Is there any chance insurance will help?

I'm so sorry for your lose, glad you are okay, is there anything I can do for you?
I watched on television, the devastating floods affecting Louisanna, and my heart broke for the people affected.
I know what you are going through. In 1974, a flood came through parts, Brisbane, Australia, many of our possessions were lost.
Your lives are the most important thing to have saved.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband.
I wish we were closer and that I could share my stash with you.
So sorry for your material losses. God will provide. I'm happy to know that you and your husband are well. I can only imagine what a terrible experience it must have been. I hope you continue holding up and keeping strong. Keep your dreams alive no matter what. María Méndez S.
