I have heard alot of stories in the 12 years we have had storage. But recently the amount of them are just horrible. The amount of current tenants who had homes flooded and lost everything, to the new people looking to put the stuff they could salvage into storage. Then of course we have all this going on at the same time one of our 250 unit facilities had about 3 foot of water in each unit.

It has been a mess and we certainly haven't really handled this the best. Of course we had no idea it could ever happen. Keeping track of people moving to different units hauling out the tons and tons and tons of destroyed belongings. Getting people to actually come out to go through their units, while at the same time many of them have homes they are attending too.

I think we have done about the best we could of done. We have had people out before the flood came to help people move belongings or to elevate them, we also spent time sandbagging in the city around as well.

It has been 2 weeks now since we have been back in and I think we only have 80 or 90 units completely cleaned. We focused on getting the buildings with the most people moved first, so we swept out previously vacant units before and moved them there till we had something clean for them.

I think in the next week we will be getting alot more all cleaned and ready for rental. Though we are going to have alot of empty units.
