September 10th - 12th
The next few days are a blur of activity. We are deluged with offers of assistance from friends and strangers: people deliver food to the hotel; restaurants do not charge; there are mountains of free clothing and supplies on hand if we need them. It is all a bit overwhelming and very heartening.We meet our insurance adjuster from Safeco. Ken seems very nice, well organized and straightforward - obviously a pro. In one conversation he describes how hard it was in Mississippi and New Orleans after Katrina. We get warnings from others not to trust insurance companies and to hire a Public Adjuster to oversee our claim. I go with my gut and stick with Ken.
The insurance offers us a nice house in a quiet area. We visit and decide to take it - there are 3 families looking at it and the Boulder rental market is suddenly glutted. It will be furnished and available next Tuesday.
The fire in our area is still hot and we have to wait to get access to the house - maybe tomorrow.
