You are what makes GBAtemp such an amazing community to be a part of!


Now, as for GoFundMe, they have still not released the funds to Chary, despite saying they would, over 10 days ago. The excuse is their engineers need time to convert the raised amount to dollars, and their payment processing team are trying their best to get it done. To me this sounds absurd, but here we are, 14 days since the fund started, waiting for the cash to be paid out in this emergency situation.[/USER][/USER][/USER][/USER]

The pet family is back together!

FEMA's inspector came by today, to assess all the damages. Even the FEMA dude was like "woah wtf" when he saw the remains of my house. He said by tomorrow, I should know more about their decision. My car has been considered "totaled", and irreparable but insurance will cover it in full.

Woah, seeing the rests of your house it makes me hella sad. Well hope that they can cover a big part of the reparations.

First, the cats are safe!
That damage is just shocking and almost makes the place look like it's been abandoned for years now. It's almost hard to imagine what it once looked like.
I am also glad to hear you got the money from the donations! ^_^

Heyy @T-hug I donated and im not on that list!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I hope @Chary had insurance on her pc and stuff like that. If she didnt, there should be a GoFundMe for chary to get some stuff like that!
I disagree on that,
but thats my opinion

The landowner seemed to take anything electronic/appliance. I tried digging around the ruins when I went back the second time, and there was no washer/dryer/stove in the wreckage. When I went back today, there was a foldout table with some of my mom's plates and a signed baseball on it, with a post it saying to keep it safe for someone's wife. I assume one of the moving crews that the landlord had kept some of the things that were okay to themselves. Of course I angrily took the plates and threw the note away. I don't want the dishes, but I don't want them scavenging over my own stuff.

it looks like the owner didn't just throw away your stuff, but also the damaged house walls and floors.
hey, at least, he kept the power plug in place! haha
I looked at one of the power plugs! It was freaky, like it had fried itself, because it was burnt black, with the outlet melted. I dunno what happened there, but the landowner is going to have to remove even the power plugs.

Haven't understood everything since English isn't my native language, but what I'm sure is that you criticized my post.

What statement made you think of that ?

What? I never mentioned you :-) dafuq?
Actually you misquoted him, and that might have confused him.
Take a look back at your own post.

PS: More than misquoted, quoted the wrong person.

Actually, her post is not criticising yours, it is actually directed to someone else (she quoted the wrong person) and she is talking positively, there is no criticising at all there.

PS: Well, except for the landlord that is being called a dick for throwing things away.

They have to cut the walls down or else the water/humidity that's inside the sheetrock would keep getting absorbed upwards and make the house need more repairs than it needs.
Many homes are like this because of this, I've been making some repairs and the owners are appreciating the chance to add or remove lights etc...

It's nice to know you're doing fine Chary, I'm glad to hear that!
