Hi Martin,

I appreciate the info. There have been many, many people in middle TN who have experienced flooding. I'm helping one of my wife's coworkers with her house while she stays with us. It doesn't get much worse than removing flooded insulation and ductwork in a crawlspace.

I was interested in the info on the appliances and electrical system. She was planning to relocated a flooded but working refrigerator in her garage when she gets a new one, but I will now advise against it and also reworking her electrical.

The flooding here was unexpected and severe. One person drowned on Interstate 24. Who would have thought? Many people who lost their homes did not live in a flood plain and did not have flood insurance. Many businesses and landmarks were also inundated. The good news is that pretty much everyone has been well-behaved, looting and scams have been small scale.
