Last week, lightning hit the immense pine tree in our backyard, plus it landed on top of the house! It was early evening plus my buddy and I weren’t in bed; The tree broke the wall of the dining room, plus had my buddy and I been in there, my buddy and I would have been destroyd, or worse.
It was raining hard, coming through the broken roof, plus pouring into the house.
I called the homeowner’s insurance business, who sent an insurance adjuster out within an hour. They assessed the situation plus had someone there soon after to put tarps over the roof. There was nothing anyone could do until the rain stopped, and he asked if my buddy and I knew the air conditioning component was also broken. There were tree limbs impaling the AC unit, plus he was sure it was going to need replacing, but once he assessed the detriment, he told me it was undoubtedly going to be a total loss, but with all the water detriment, plus possible detriment to the foundation, it could take various months to rebuild. He gave us enough money to stay in a hotel for a week until he could find us an loft while the loft was being rebuilt. It was just our luck to get a hotel room that had a wet floor from a leaking HVAC unit, plus there was no air conditioning. I was cheerful when the insurance agent called the next afternoon plus told us my buddy and I had an apartment, and my pal and I could get our personal belongings out of the loft while he secured the apartment. He assured us it had perfect HVAC plus all the necessities.
