Ya, Billy Boy 'o' the Bayou... you best let us know you're alright.
 
The really shizzy part is (if Bill's okay which I just have a feeling in my gut he is) that he JUST got settled in to that new place and it seemed like things were going all happy and good.
 
Hopefully he just got evacuated as a precaution, is safe with family and his new pad is dry and clean so he can just move right back in, plop himself down and get back to telling us all about the wonders of Am.

my house is on piers, 4 inches of water in my home.Not being in a flood zone I had no flood insurance, Allstate did not help.
So far I have pulled the carpet and padding out, and am removing baseboards and cutting out the affected celotex(the house was built in the 50s so beaded boards for walls, hardwood floors and a cypress sub floor). I have two rooms left to cut out.
My three sheds suffered damage to the contents, the wash shed lost the water heater, wash machine and dryer plus a generator and chain saw, . I am attempting to restore  my riding lawnmower, weed eater, bush hog,.
The air compressors, welding machine and hand power tools are gone.
My practice studio I lost my 1930s Hammond AV, 76 Fender Rhodes, A rack full of power amps and processors, mixer board, sub woofers, and other things .
 
Did get my truck out ok and drove to a shelter, a brand new ATV is in the shop being looked at.
 
I am back at work today but just going through the motions. In my 64 years I NEVER saw the water, carnage and destruction in my area and where Bill Lives.

NOOOOOOO!!!!
 
But at least you're okay. Get some of that mold eating enzyme and spray any exposed studs/surfaces before sealing it all up again.
 
As for the gear... maybe it's salvageable. Pop it open, get in there with some toothbrushes, rags, sponges, whatever and let it all air out for as long as it takes. If it wasn't plugged in/turned on when it got hit it might all be fine or just need to have some wiring replaced.
 
People say toss a rice into things like that to soak up moisture but a better (and less messy) bet is to try to find a pile of those little silica packages they toss in clothes pockets, electronics packaging, pills, etc, and let them do their thing.
 
Glad you're okay.
 
Now where the FRACK is Bill?!

Very sorry to hear that George. My thoughts and prayers are for you, Bill, and everyone affected in this disaster.
Stay safe and hope you are able to salvage some of that....
