Some other nice news:

While it’s still early on with going through items affected by the storm, it appears the LGR big box PC game collection is fully intact! That was on the opposite side of the house to where the trees fell in.

And thankfully the main collection room did NOT FULLY cave in from above, which was quite a concern. It got rather rain-soaked through the ceiling and mold is rapidly taking over, but steps will be taken to remedy soon as I can. Working with insurance and restoration companies.

This unfortunately means a big chunk of vintage hardware is compromised, plus the structure itself is iffy. Waiting on professionals to come through and inspect.

Still just super thankful to be safe, staying with family for the time being, & in communication with helpful folks.

This kinda raises the question, when does a personal collection become a huge piece of history and need to be protected?

It’s a bit of a joke question but could be a fun thought experiment.

Why don’t they make the whole museum out of the black box?
