Dang it - those pics are heart wrenching, can't imagine what you are going through with your job helping other folks while you know your home is gone.I hope you and your family are staying safe! Please keep us updated and as the waters recede let us know what we can you provide you with sir.

Thank you very much

How is the family? You getting any rest Cody?

Haven't seen wife or kids since Monday. They're in Beaumont with family. As far as rest goes I think I've managed 3-4 hrs a day. I think I'm getting use to the sleep deprivation. I'd hate to be one of these people who are asking for directions to get to different locations. I'm sure they're not very accurate at the moment. The water is receding faster now. Still can't get from Lumberton to Beaumont via Hwy 69 due to high water. Got to watch about 5 minutes worth of football tonight. Haven't watched TV since Sunday. Will be starting recovery (deceased) soon when water goes down a little further. Definitely not looking forward to that. Just hope some of y'all that are following this post don't think I'm asking for sympathy, donations or handouts by me posting this information. It's just nice to kinda let it out on here. Stay safe guys.

Side by side of the house. Pic on left is Monday at 2:30. Pic on right is Thursday afternoon.

Finally got into the house today. Not good at all.

Ouch! Praying for you. I've been there before and almost again.

Prayers Sir....that's terrible! Can anything be salvaged?

I'm not sure on salvaging anything. The house has been under water for 7 days. It's pretty freaking nasty inside. The ceiling fell, so I've got insulation everywhere. It's a mess.

I just don't have the words to say how sorry I am for you and yours. Best of luck on salvaging things.

Got it all tore out. Had to tear out everything in the house including electrical. I've got a shell of a house left now.

Lot of work getting all that stuff out.

This flag flew the entire time. Even after being covered with water .

I have watched your posts with my wife, and we have kept up as you have updated it. It is the closest account I have seen to actual events as they unfolded. You are a strong willed person to jump back in there as you have. God bless you, and prayers for you and yours as you rebuild.

Thank you Simple Searcher. I appreciate the kind words.

My heart aches for you and your family sir. Many prayers for y'all.

Man, so very sorry.

Prayers for you and yours.

Waiting on trash pick up!

Is is a bummer to see folks stuff out there like that, what a loss. I sure hope y'all have bulk picked day.

Thanks

Like nemo. Just keep swimming. That really sucks but you guys got this.

I'm doing my best to keep it on track for my wife and kids sake. So much to do but it'll get done. Just takes time. The house is not dry yet. I'm having to seal off individual rooms and run the dehumidifier in there to pull the moisture. It had water in it for 10 days. We're gonna make it through.
