(having somewhere to live on our property due to animals was a must) Everything inside was a total loss, was able to not lose my radio/amp/laptops/desk top. All else was lost though. They are estimating about 2 months before we will be able to move back in. We have an rv that we hope will be able to get on our property today and that’s here we live till things are done. Right now we are having to go thru and document, photo every single item lost. We cant just take a photo of a group of things, has to be each item. We a little concerned because we don’t know what fema is going to say is the cost to repair, replace ect and they are the ones that control ALL flood things. Hers a nother bit of good handy info to pass along, fema issued to all insurance agencies here in TX they “will not” be reimbursing nor will cover any loss of use of your home. SO if you have your family in a hotel or some living place that cost you, you will not be reimbursed. That was told to us by state farm and verified by a friend of mine that got flooded as well from his ins company. Generac finally came out and fixed our total home generator that DID NOT work when we got hit by lightning in last weeks storm. But guess what???? We got hit again this morning and lost power AGAIN !!!! Thank the Lord though the generator worked this go round. As for help, I honestly don’t know what we need at the moment. I ended up stopping work for a while yesterday between my own shop work and doing inventory and removing crap from the house to mow the yard so when Debbie got home from work she would have some since or normalness when coming into the driveway. She is about to hit her breaking point so I had to do something to ease some stress even if its just mowing the yard (what could be mowed with the mud ect). So forward we move as best we can.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Have a blessed day,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>KG5ITZ & WA5PLK<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Darryl Strader Studio, LLC<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>281-646-7300<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>www.straderstudio.com<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Dan White [mailto:dan@dandlfarms.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, April 26, 2016 9:20 PM<br><b>To:</b> darryl@straderstudio.com; Mail List for the W5SFA Radio Club <w5sfa@w5sfa.org><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [W5SFA] Reminder: Club Meeting Tomorrow Night<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Sorry to here you are still having problems.

If we can get the balance back up over $1,500 we can save a few bucks. To that end, please consider renewing your membership dues a little early this year.

We are officially reserved, thanks to Ray Chislett W5RAC. Build Night will take the place of our normal meeting at Yani's.

But if you do want to build something, there will be a lot of expertise in the room to help out if you need it. Also, if you are looking for a kit to build, there are tons available - follow this <a href="https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=ham%20radio%20kits%20to%20build">search link</a> and it should give you some ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>- The results for the Texas QSO Party are now posted online.
