this will be brief, since it hard to. type

I am safe and uninjured. The building likely will be torn down
On tuesday evening a 4 alarm fire burned through my lifelong home apartment building, destroying the 6th floor utterly, our unit on the 3rd took massive water damage, little salvageable(will get to go back in again sometime later to look at more things, only got in briefly on thurs), are staying at a hotel right now, with the 10 year old laptop i had put away in a dresser, thus it escaped getting soaked. I have no idea about my towers(to heavy to move in the dark in the soaked stairwells(No powerof course) . also the switch seems to have survived..
Hopefully will get to look back another time and maybe put some other salvageable possessions in storage

TRying to use the coin op laundry in the hotel to save my smoke and waterlogged clothing

dealing with the shock is overwhelming, and the fear about where to live in the future is certainly real, currently have insurance to help survive but that will only last so long. rent in the NY metro area is nuts, leaving everyone i ever knew will be brutal as well




One amendum I must add, I had set myself up earlier in the year to attend 4 cons, BFLC, AC, Mega, MFF, I had prepaied for the majority of expenses on each(Or in the case of mega/blfc staying with a friend gratis, flight change costs would be 80% of the money i paid, hotel cost set without cancel options as well... I;ll likely attend because of the emotional pain escape, and cant get out off things

please wish me luck. At some point i might have a go fund me.
I've never felt so crushed
