No one that was with me was hurt. Miraculously, all of my neighbors survived too.

    What was it like in the shelter when it hit? Did you ever wonder if the shelter would hold? What will you do while your house is rebuilt? Does your insurance cover the damages and temporary housing? Assuming you do have to pay for there current property while rebuilding.

      It got loud and a cloud of dirt and dust flew through the air when the house fell. I never had any doubts that it would hold, but I also never thought I was actually going to be hit.

      I was scheduled to move later this summer anyway. I’ll be in an Airbnb until then. I have insurance coverage for the structure, my stuff and alternate lodging. Very likely will not cover everything completely but will be in the ballpark. I’m pretty sure mortgage payments get suspended but I haven’t gotten to call my bank yet so I’m not sure.

        Was there any chance that something would get stuck on top of the shelter and prevent you from leaving? That would probably be my biggest worry, after surviving I guess.

        Uh, off topic but your city reminded me of a Barenaked Ladies song. https://youtu.be/28oxinZmrW0

          Absolutely but we were safe in the shelter and would have been fine for a day or so. The shelter was registered with county emergency management so they would have known where to find us. We had neighbors that were genuinely trapped but were quickly located and rescued.
