A tornado spawned essentially on top of my house in June and applied enough torque to fuck up my foundation. One corner of my house is coming off now. I’m fighting my homeowners insurance to cover it and I have a foundation expert coming out tomorrow to give me estimates for the costs of repairs. My cousin from ohio knows all about real estate, so he gave me and my mom so many tips for how to get the insurance to cover it. I requested a new adjuster for a second opinion yesterday and one should be contacting me next week.
This whole thing has me freaking out and more severe storms have rolled through and made it worse. The whole right side of my house has shifted on top of the one corner coming off. Found more cracks in the wall of the finished basement today. We had a crazy storm yesterday, which probably cause the cracks.
Not experienced personally when it happened, but…
There is that forest valley we pass through on our annual pilgrimage. We have to take a wooden bridge over a small brook there. That water is so small that pilgrims even crossed it by removing shoes and socks and wading through at a time the bridge was broken.
Five years ago, there were heavy rainfalls and flash floods in the area. At the point where that bridge was, the water ran 8m/26ft high. Imagine standing there and looking up the cliffs left and right where once were trees. The bridge has been replaced, but the valley definitely looks different.
