Stay positive, my brother. Maybe you got lucky. As long as the building is still standing then there are worse things to clean off than salt water.

Man what a drag. I used to live on Beach 123 and the boardwalk in Rockaway. I live in Fl now. I saw the footage on TV. Sorry man that is horrible. I heard the Harbor Light and some other old pubs out by Breezy are gone. Man the memories.

I hope the insurance takes care of you.

Sorry to hear this. Dont bet on homeowners insurance helping with the cars. I hope you had hagerty or something similar. My home was destroyed by a tornado a little over 2 years ago. I had an 88 Mustang coupe in the garage restoring it and the tornado totaled it. I thought since it was in the garage it would be covered by homeowners. It wasnt. Was a total loss. I hope it turns out better for you.
