Sorry Lindammarie that you didn't get much compassion or understanding over the flooding. My parent's house flooded last year and it was exhausting to get rid of all the ruined stuff, the standing water, and to get the carpets clean. Also, we have a rental house that has flooded repeatedly due to the city's overbuilding. Many of the tenant's belongings were ruined each time, and of course the city denied any responsibility although long-time residents had never had flooding.

Anyway, home floods can be very stressful. Hope the cleanup is over soon for you.
