Kevin, A COC's downer and I hope it doesn't apply to your area, but in
S. Fl the first thing would be to assure them that they aren't
responsible for injuries to yourself or helpers. Sorry to hear about
your bad weather. People here think about moving to avoid hurricanes and
wildfires, but then there are fuel bills, tornados, noreasters,
earthquakes, etc. etc. etc.
