sorry to hear man, that really, really sucks... was the apt on the ground floor or a couple stories up? maybe the stuff will be there when you eventually get back?
i don't think people realize exactly how much of a disaster this thing was... i mean, an entire city basically done, a city with a really rich history and music scene nonetheless... with all the evacuations and flooding, no one has jobs to go back to. really, really horrid situation.
i saw some thing on the news where they went to a Hard Rock casino/hotel on the coast, and the newscaster was showing how trashed the place was... totally condemned... and he's like "and look up there, Keith Richard's guitar..." !!!!!! "...and on the floor here, someone's bass..." !!!!!! again, there's this '51 Pass just laying in a puddle, he didn't even have the sense to pick the damned thing up and put it somewhere dry.
i say we organize a guitar salvage operation and find some maps to guitar stores in the area. oh wait, that would be illegal... shoot.
so may people have lost their jobs...
so many people have lost their homes...
but yet let's just go salvage the guitars!
now that's the spirit!!!
only joking... my deepest sympathies go out to you tehplatypus
