Whoa...is that fixable?

I'm not sure exactly what got damaged!

Ahhh...that's what they have insurance for...should be able to prop it back up, just have to build up enough pressure so they can work underneath...it's definitely a mess

I don't think he is being a crybaby...He has a point....prices here went up 10-15 cents overnight when people were starting to evacuate florida/alabama/mississippi. At least someone noticed and they are looking into it...they are claiming it was due to cindy going through. :bs:
