S. Florida never got Ernesto!!! nm
they did use public transportation though as part of the evacuation but housed those sm
who boarded in the superdome rather than outside of New Orleans. of course, there were those thousands who chose not to even do that.
sorry, don't think it's either new or damage control
Floor damage
I know a lady who sold flooring for years. She advised me never to use rugs with rubber backing on vinyl (sp?) floors for just this reason. We never went into how to repair the damage if it happened, though. You might try calling someplace that sells and installs floors.
he underestimated the damage it
No one thought it would actually be this bad. I'm shocked at what i'm seeing on the news. When they said it was coming, I thought they were for the most part blowing smoke. I never knew people could just be left to die like this in the U.S. Its hard to comprehend in this day and age and country, that WE could be wiped out by a natural distaster.
She was just trying to do damage control (for herself of course)
and you're right - she was told to leave, she didn't leave on her own volition. She just wanted to make it look that way to save face.
Wow! This REEKS of damage control!
What kind of damage that far in? I am not really worried about
the house falling in on us. The only thing that reall concerns me is the possibility of tornadoes. When Alicia came through, she was only a 3, but she had around 30 tornadoes. That is what concerns me.
What kind of water damage is what I would like to know sm..
Was it leaking from basement walls into basement or did someone leave water running and cause a flood, or was it sewer backup, or what is a natural flood? Any kind of water damage really stinks!! We had the unfortunate situation happen to us years ago when their was flooding all around us, but we did fine, that is, until the sewer system backed up into our basement about 4 feet high! This was so gross, I don't think I'll ever get over it, however, we had it professionally cleaned and disinfected and threw EVERYTHING out, so hopefully that solved any health issues, so we are told. Anyway, we invested $600 into a backup valve so that it will never happen again. I have wanted to move ever since just because it was so gross and I can't get the image out of my head, but 4 years later, we are still here, kids and all. So, the moral of the story I am trying to get at is this....they were supposed to be upfront and honest about the water damage problem and they were not, which leads me to believe that they have something to hide. Therefore, you should potentially be able to get any money back because of this if you can prove that it was withheld information on the contract. If you just love the house that much, go ahead with the inspection and find out what kind of water damage it was. If it checks out with inspector, I would strongly suggest you have it professionally cleaned/disinfected to be safe, and expect it to maybe happen again and consider that thoroughly. Personally, if we ever go to sell this house, I will be up front about it because even though we seemed to have fixed the problem, it is very possible it can happen again. Hope this all makes sense. Good luck.
Yes, there seems to be a tremendous amount of damage control on her lately by MQ. What is going on
 and they are just as nasty as my office has been becoming lately with everyone worrying about their jobs now that our accounts have been switched to the NE region out of the local office.
Ah, Jeez Louise, damage control again (sm)
Psychology 101, name calling will get you no where. 
Racing fans - the Atlanta Motor Speedway had significant damage...sm
yesterday by the tropical depression Cindy. You can see photos of this through the Atlanta Journal-Constitution at:

mostly trees limbs causing damage by falling on wires and rooftops
much minor roof damage and blew signs down around in those towns, enough to tell there was a storm, but NOTHING like further south!
It's gonna take more than one person to change things. Until all American MTs realize the damage
things will keep going downhill. We need to all write letters, inform people, push for legislation that will prevent American patients' protected medical data from being offshored. We need to boycott any MTSOs that offshore and we should not accept peanuts for our skills.
That's what it will take, but with MTs like you who call us whiners for voicing our frustrations, concerns, and opinions and who sit around doing nothing, we will all lose.
