Adjuster Came

I saw my insurance adjuster today. Finally...It's November and the storm happened August 29th. I suppose that illustrates how many people had damage from Hurricane Katrina. My impression is that the adjuster was fair and will recommend a fair settlement for me. that would be anywhere from 75 to 90% of the total loss.
I will have to wait about 2 weeks for this settlement, and will have to submit "content losses" (furniture) to a second adjuster who will contact me in the next week or so. Now that the adjuster has seen the property it it's damaged state I can have the damages repaired. Here's an example at the range of effect on this area that storm had. On November 1st largely catholic New Orleans celebrated "All Saints Day".
That holiday includes the tradition of Catholics honoring their deceased family members with flowers and grave visitations. but this year it was different. In a city where so many of the living have not returned since Hurricane Katrina, only a few residents traveled the storm-ravaged streets of New Orleans to visit the dead on All Saints Day. And the odd fact is that annual pilgrimage to clean graves and bring flowers is a defining tradition in our city, one known for it's above ground tombs.
But this year Katrina's floodwaters left a chilling and eerie presence on those tombs by covering the resting places of our dead with brown water marks that greeted the family mourners who returned to their deceased loved ones on All Saints Day. Waterlines from a few feet to waist high to above the head stain many tombs in New Orleans, a chilling site for those who were faced with a reminder of the hurricane even at the grave site of loved ones (My family is buried in a mausoleum, high above any water line).
No doubt it was upsetting to see the evidence of the fact that Katrina's water covered even the graves of the deceased in New Orleans.
