Ed,

You should check your policy. Our house was severely damaged (and condemmed afterward) by hurricane Charley in August. Our homeowners policy really covered a lot. It pays for the house (with a deductable), a rental for maybe a year ($$ limit), moving, travel to visit the house being repaired (many damaged houses in our town--destroyed motels--no local rentals available), damaged contents, damaged boat lift, etc. etc. This should be a big help if you get a good adjuster.
