 the basement damage is extensive. We have about six and a half, seven feet of water in there. So we did everything was down there. Furnace, you know, all the washer-dryer. It's funny, it's, we actually, this house right here was not impacted very much by Irene. We had, you know, maybe an inch or two of water in the basement and some pumps were able to take care of it. I remember the rescue boats were coming up to right about where you're standing. You're dropping people off. This just kind of happened to make it up just a little bit farther. How is, how are you doing? Good, how are you? I'm good. Very good. How are you doing? It works out for us. We have, if you happen to have any problems, we'd like you to go put insurance on. Absolutely. Thank you. We'd like you to be eating up one, I'm sure it's going to be. Thank you, I, guys, for coming down. Nice to see you. Thank you. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. Have a good day, sir. You know, the tenants are not worse than we could have ever imagined. It's just not water. It's mud. Yeah, a lot of basements. As long as you think it's good. We've got water that's come up this high. The basement's flooded, so the utilities are smoked, right? So I got David Safford, who's my heating guy, and, you know, the oil tanks have filled up the water. We've got all sorts of stuff that's a problem. The heating that's done, we have to replace the heating. We've got to cut all the sheet rock out. We've got to pull the floors out, because it's, right, we've got insulation in the wall. It's going to be black walled, so it's going to be, it's going to realistically be months. I would like to say, if it was one building, I could have it probably fixed in four or five weeks if we had the equipment to do it. How many people are going to be out of the water? Thousands of people in my shoes, so we're going to be patient by the time it's up to yesterday, right? We don't necessarily know what to do. The skids, we can actually get some servicemen in here. We've got to clean these units up. We've got to get our tenants back in, right? We're so short-ended on workers in the state of Vermont. You're making a good point. You need to help fight away, which we've got a lot of expenses this time of year. Well, yeah, and we have to organize all that, so we've got to work that out with our insurance adjuster to make sure that people are in insurance company. Oh, I don't have my phone on me. You just want to make sure that you have everything. Oh, it's definitely... Don't wait, don't wait for the insurance. These guys have opened up this road in the last 24 hours, like, you can't believe. They're working around the clock. They're working around the clock. You guys really got to give your hands together and just say thank you. I was on the ground here yesterday morning at 6.30. The mayor of the town was on his bicycle on his mountain bike. Can he call me out? Oh, yeah. Because we met the other day when I met you at the labor hall. Exactly, yes. And I didn't recognize him. He was on a bicycle. He goes, Tim Jarvis, so I was like, oh, well, yeah. How are you doing? So it was really great to see that everybody's involved and honestly, you know, these visits are great, but it's a lot of trouble, gracious. It's a lot of work. We need a place to put stuff, right? So they're hauling them out of ways. That's what I was going to ask. Where's the mud going? You see the woman right there, the woman right there. That's the director. Sir, thank you very much. Nice to see you, Becca. Nice to see you. Good to see you. And I'm Peter. Oh, Peter, congratulations! Well, the sunrise is so far off. Congratulations on your rule. Keep it down low, Joe. And this is Lori Erlick. I'm the regional administrator. Nice to meet you, Tim. Pleasure to meet you. How are you doing? Good, how are you? Reached out to the regional office, if you need. Whoa. Open up. Yeah. How are you doing? This is Steve Minerstra. I'm Tim. I'm Lori here. I'm very excited to see you. Nice to see you. You're all 15. We've got nine. Right next to our center. We're all new here. Are they all down in the center? Yes. And he's going to run up like big. So excuse me. Yeah. So... That's my daughter. Yeah. I'll be fine. Oh, my tools are down there. And she makes jewelry. Whoa. And so we pulled the car back in hopes that I could drive across the lawn to get out. Within good 10 minutes, it was already up on covering the second step. When did it happen for you? I don't... What day? Monday. I don't even know what day it is today, sir. Wednesday. So Monday. Yeah, Monday. Yeah, Monday. I asked a gentleman about what day it was on that day and what Monday. We were trying to pull stuff up from the basement, tools up from the basement, and we didn't think it was going to get to the first floor because they were saying it was about as bad as Irene. We only got the basement, so we were hoping everything was going to be safe on the first floor. But we were wrong. Oh, in the house? No, I ran too. So where are you still in the house? Yes. Things are working? I mean... At the moment, they want to shut off the power, but things are working at the moment. Don't dare to try and use the stove, but that's because half of it went underwater. Well, not half of it, but... Yeah. So... But I have a microwave. I have an air fryer, so those were up on counters and tables, so they didn't get wet. Sorry for you guys just reading me. Well, hopefully, you know, we'll get help to get things back. I have to get everything up off the first floor so that the landlord can come in and do the cleaning that has to be done, and that's what we're here doing. Trying to get everything up and on the second floor. Want to lift the lathe? Half the floor. Do you think we're turning downstairs? Yeah. Yeah, I lost scroll saw, table saw, all my wood over at least $4,000 worth of wood and tools. Gone. And I don't have renter's insurance. So... When I hear something normal, my niece called this car baby car. Actually named it. Yeah, baby car is gone. Have the insurance to replace that either. So I'm screwed. I would appreciate it. We're also having problems getting in touch with government, like the food stamp office and stuff. My phone, I can't call out right now. Okay. Well, every time I try dialing something, it fails on my phone. So I'll have to wait till I get somewhere away from here, I guess. The calls won't go through at all. Not here. I can only do text. Since where? Since today. Yesterday I was able to make phone calls. But today, since I got out here today, everything's just been failing. My friend can make phone calls, but she lives. I guess I can take a picture of you, too? Yeah, I'm not sure. I'll just start with that note. I'm a good builder. I'm a good dad. I'm a good builder. I'm on the city council, so if you need anything on the city side. Where is underwater? There's one over there. There's one over there. I'm on the city council, so if you need anything on the city side, where is underwater? There's one over there. Absolutely. So hopefully we can help us go back better. Hello, Senator Sanders. Thanks for being here. Not. I need to get it. I need to get it. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. Thank you. I have a hot friend with me. A lot of folks in this community are really hurting. They're baseman, so flooding is a lot of damage. They don't necessarily have the insurance to cover their losses. So it's really quite tragic. What we're going to do from the federal delegation is bring as much help as we can into the state as quickly as we can, but it is a hot day. It's a hard day for that. Can you just reiterate your role with the insurance companies? Well, one of the concerns that I have is that insurance companies sometimes make life difficult for people who are asking for help. They've paid into the insurance companies for years, and sometimes insurance companies kind of don't pay out what they should. So we're going to be watching that very, very closely. If anybody has any issues with insurance companies, think they're not getting what they're entitled to, give us a ring. Thank you so much. Thank you.
