If I was home owner I would have claimed that house was safe before the winds were there, so sue the wind.I remember a few years ago hearing about a guy who was going to loot a wind-blown house, the awning fell on him nearly killing him.
He sued the homeowner and won.

Wow... all of my friends have damaged roofs. But I'm all good, except the window that overlooks my computer, I dunno, maybe its an improvement!
Ike aint been pretty, forever let its mark in history.

Some of you may have seen video of the Chase Tower in Houston. That's my office dangling out of the shattered windows. I'll be going up there for the first time tomorrow. Not looking forward to it, even though we got all the real paper files into the interior, and we're 100% backed-up remotely and, I'm glad to say, operating without interruption electronically. But the office I've been in for a decade, with 20+ years of memorabilia and the furniture I designed and in one case built myself ... I'm afraid that's all gone ...
Well done, Greg! I trust you set yourselves up with non-perishable food and plenty of water before the storm. It's hard to believe how many folks weren't prepared, especially with something like two weeks warning. But maybe the reports we hear are just the media doing their usual best to exagerate the most extreme cases of stupidity.
OK, I am feeling charitable (the Left chambers of my Liberal heart are bleeding for... you??) So, here is something to cheer you up - gasoline topped out at $4.00 per gallon in our neighborhood.
I did my own Ike preparations by filling up last week.
That guy who owns this house is one lucky B*****d
