I have a new appreciation for the word "catastrophe." Ever since the day we took the Subaru to the State Farm tent (May 3), where I saw the nice people wearing their Catastrophe Team hats, shirts, and badges, I've realized what a loaded word that is. Since then I've seen it on trucks and banners and vans all over town -- all of the insurance companies and aid organizations have sent their catastrophe teams to deal with us.
This afternoon I need to respond to an email from State Farm; the sender name is HOME CLMS-CATASTROPHESERVICE and the address is statefarm.catastropheservices@.... *sigh* It feels odd to be a catastrophe. Another sign of normal being nowhere in sight.
