So sorry to hear about that. I cannot even imagine such a thing - the clean up will be a real challenge. Insurance covers this right?? Although you cannot redeem personal things that are covered in mud and ruined like pictures.

California is a beautiful place - however, you have your share of floods, mud slides, earthquakes and forest fires. Of course I guess everywhere has issues to deal with.

My thoughts are with you and it sounds like you have a great attitude at such a stressful time - thinking about new luggage.
