I've seen ads in the local Craigslist for roofing work down in Texas. They're promising many months of lucrative work ahead. Sounds like you made a good call when you made the call to your insurance company while the storm was still blowing.
$1200+ in change for the cabby roof; let's see... tires and tubes, stainless exhaust, a Schuberth helmet or two. Decisions, decisions :-/
