How much food did you lose?

Everything, pretty much. Wife got the frozen meats out and took them to her parents but other than that, we lost it all. I can see a 400 grocery bill this weekend.

You checked if your insurance doesn't cover it? Could be completely different in the States, but I know here (in South Africa) there's a clause tucked away in my homeowners policy that covers me in exactly such an event.

If the stores even have anything left either. Even if they get a fresh shipment, i envision bedlam at the market.

Not going to even go there. They'll jack the rates up with any claim and make the money back ten fold over the next few years. I'll swallow this bitter pill.

Good point. Hopefully we can get the basics for now.
Nothing but choke holds and take downs in the freezer section. Lol.
