It is situations like this that really make you reevaluate your life. It 
usually makes you a better person and stronger family once things are 
back to normal!


I have been working on getting everything memorabilia wise converted 
over to digital and then stored on a local server, backed up to a usb 
drive and then stored on a remote server...


Similarly I had a friend that had all of his family pics stored on a 
redundant server and backed up to a local drive, then lost everything 
when the basement flooded.

All of our neighbors had no flood insurance. Granted they still have 
habitable homes, many of them did wind up with 5 figure losses. Our 
community pulled together to help one another out after the flood. We 
give thanks for the fact that we did have flood insurance as it seems 
it will turn out OK for the most part. Still it is not near enough to 
rebuild or replace what was lost and temporary housing is not part of 
the policy. Having our health is the key. The worst of it is the loss 
of family pictures and the like. The rest is just stuff, including the 
cars. It seems Cobb county is doing a good job of taking care of its 
habitants who were effected. Gwinnett county... well that is another 
story. My heart goes out to anyone who has gone through something like 
this.

I think there are data recovery specialists that
can get this back.  Water killed the drive, but
shouldn't have affected the magnetic media.  I
believe they operate by removing the platter(s),
cleaning them, then installing them into new
drives.  Not cheap, but...

There's a reason for the off-site backup copy.

My web site is on a server miles away.  It's also
on this machine, and another copy is on a thumb
drive (actually a crappy MP3 player) in my desk
drawer at work.

water was roughly 30' deep in our back yard when all was said and done

FEMA is a bloody joke, you are completely subjected to the whims and 
incompetence of their adjuster with little recourse. If it were not for 
close friends we would have been on the street. Still battling with the 
flood insurance company, but looks like we will have resolution on part 
of the claim soon. It took hiring an attorney and a public adjuster to 
make this happen. It is clear that in no way will we be made whole.

I've had a similar insurance experience in a different context.  It's
going to court later this month, so I don't want to say much about it.
By the time I pay the attorney fees I will recover only a fraction of
the money if any.  I think that some insurers just flat refuse to pay
claims, knowing that the only recourse for the insured is to hire a
lawyer and go to court.  And since attorney fees are generally the
responsibility of the individual parties, you risk collecting nothing or
even being negative if you do this, even if you have a legitimate case.

Good luck!

i have to say something about those floods.  i live above the water and had
no idea that there was anything going on besides heavy rain for a long
time.  it was only when i tried to go out to the store that i realized the
magnitude of the disaster.  the river and streams just literally created
lakes.  bridges were largely wiped out and low lying items found themselves
under water.

when i bought my house, altitude relative to bodies of water was not even
considered.  my advice is to buy high and buy on rock.  (but don't buy when
high on rock!)

 All of our neighbors had no flood insurance. Granted they still have
 habitable homes, many of them did wind up with 5 figure losses. Our
 community pulled together to help one another out after the flood. We give
 thanks for the fact that we did have flood insurance as it seems it will
 turn out OK for the most part. Still it is not near enough to rebuild or
 replace what was lost and temporary housing is not part of the policy.
 Having our health is the key. The worst of it is the loss of family pictures
 and the like. The rest is just stuff, including the cars. It seems Cobb
 county is doing a good job of taking care of its habitants who were
 effected. Gwinnett county... well that is another story. My heart goes out
 to anyone who has gone through something like this.

what all cars did you lose in the flood?



Three... and it hurts to talk about it. I'll just say that the good
