Thanks guys...they are back staying in the house. My father is stupbornas a mule. We have a large family (dad is oldest of 11 kids) and they have really pulled together...been swarming that place all week. Removed the drywall to allow walls to dry out ...carpet etc. Finally got water out of basement and got runing water(as in drinking water not flood water) again yesterday. It will be a long process but they will eventually get there.
