The text message was kind of bizarre.
It just said Are you okay?
And then about ten minutes later
I get another text message that says
Our office is gone
I got to my office here about seven o'clock that night
Everybody was basically in shock
Because everybody walking around
Just kind of in shock looking at all the devastation all around us
We literally were standing you know
Fifteen feet away from the destroyed building
Looking in and seeing that there were interior walls that were still intact
But we weren't being allowed in
I went home that night and I emailed Economical Insurance
and I said we have equipment
We think can be rescued from this office
To their credit on the Tuesday
A structural engineer showed up at this office
He got us access on the Tuesday night
We went to work and within about three hours
We were able to get a lot of our equipment out
And we also placed a huge tarp over the wall that collapsed
The next day the Wednesday
It rained for five hours straight
And I fully credit that action of getting us the access to that
To saving our business because on top of the fact that
The equipment was saved more importantly was the records for us
The records were crucial
That action itself saved our business
Economical was there when we needed them
And I think their approach has been outstanding
And it's very comforting for people and it was professional
I thank them from the bottom of my heart
Because it allowed me to keep running my business
