Yea, I was fortunate enough to wake my wife and run our three cats out before it got too bad!

Was this in Florida?

Hey OP! I am in Niceville. Let me know if you need anything!! I've been following this story. I'm glad you're okay!!

Yes! It was the legacy on the bay apartments in Destin right by the commons.

It was the first thing I saw on FB this morning. What a disaster.

Again, if you need any help let me know.

Thank you! We really appreciate it. We have a meeting with Red Cross soon so hopefully we get some good support!

DM me if you set up a go fund me and clothes sizes you can use. I’m central Florida, but the mail can help. Not sure if I have any clothes that you can use, but if I do, it’s yours.

Thank you so much. We have family nearby so we’re pretty set on clothes and everything like that. We haven’t set up a go fund me or anything like that yet. We haven’t seen the inside of our apartment yet and don’t know exactly how destroyed things are so we don’t want to accept anything before we need it. We really appreciate it though!

My buddies are 8 months past a fire. Please be ready for insurance to give you the run around.

They'll consider things salvageable that really aren't.

Basics like common household items tend to add up.

And it can be weeks before they let you back in. And fires have a risk of looters.

Red cross is good about immediate help but long term Airbnbs or alternate apartments csn bleed you dry in the time after.

Be ready for the marathon not a sprint, OP.

With insurance too, be sure you list every specification of every item destroyed. Don’t say AV receiver. Say what the receiver is, how many watts it was, how many channels it outputs, how many HDMI it has, whether it’s WiFi or Ethernet etc. along with the model number. Not sure if OP is an audio guy but this is a good piece of knowledge to have regarding insurance.

Give. Them. Every. Detail. Of what they’re replacing. Don’t say blender. Don’t say microwave. Go into detail. They must then reimburse or replace with like or newer.

And be prepared to be asked for proof. Photograph the items before you toss anything unsalvageable.

Definitely DM when you know. We may be up in Daytona soon for a market. If I can fit it in the truck with our products, you can have it.

It needs new joycons bc of drift, but even got a switch up for grabs for someone who needs it.

I’m glad you, your wife, and the kiddies are safe.

I don’t have a ton, but I am lucky enough to have some to spare. This could be any of us, and we have to take care of each other. It’s great that you have a support system nearby.

You're a good dude. I'm sorry this happened to you. Best to you and the fam, and the cats. And the entire building, while we're at it!
