jpskewedthroneFirst, thanks to everyone who responded to the last post with sympathies and suggestions. The support is appreciated. And the advice on the TV will be taken (see below).
Now some preliminary damage numbers. Note the "preliminary" in that statement. I only managed to get through half of my storage facility today. The other half will hopefully get finished tomorrow.
So these numbers are LOW. Expect them to rise.
Books:
36 hardcover books destroyed.
8 trade paperback books destroyed.
144 mass market paperback books destroyed. (This will go up after tomorrow. Way up.)
7 board games destroyed.
70 VCR movies destroyed.
VCR destroyed
Computer CPU destroyed.
ADvantix Camera destroyed.
Bookshelves destroyed.
Good news:
The chairs and table can be salvaged. I think the massive TV as well. I don't think it got submerged; only wet on one corner edge. I can always hope. Let's see . . . good news, good news, good news . . . I think that's it.
Well, that's being a little ungrateful. The good news is that I still have a place to live, don't have to boil water, and all of the stuff above is replaceable. Oh, and for those of you worried about my own stories/novels being destroyed, not worries there. I have them at the loft, so they were never threatened.
I still went to Dunkin Donuts and bought myself a large strawberry coolatta on the way home.
