10/4/24 UPDATE

More cleaning.  Bleach and Tide mixed with water is my go to solution.  I’m wiping down things that can be saved and I’m starting to mop our downstairs area, which is covered in a layer of silt.  Holmes Beach Code Compliance employees are canvassing the area today to measure the water lines of the exterior and interior of each home.  I asked them if they knew where I could find some volunteers to move our refrigerator and washing machine to the street.  Indeed they did and gave me the name and number for Little Tim.  I made a call and within 10 minutes Little Tim, who is 7 feet tall, and James, a bartender for a local establishment called the Doctors Office, were at our home.  They took care of us and I gave them a nice cash tip.  I heard from our flood insurance adjuster today.  His name is Francisco.  All I could think of was the movie Elf.  Scott said I repeated “Francisco” several times during the call.  It made me smile.  He told what to photograph and made an appointment to be onsite next Thursday.
