On Friday evening May 19th we received 6” of rain in around 1 hour.  The resulting flood was the worst our town has ever experienced.  Water maxed out at around 5.5’ inside our shop.  Most of our inventory was completely under water for a couple hours Friday evening.  We started the cleanup process that night around midnight.  We are still in the process of cleaning up and getting reorganized.  We turned off the products on the website due to unknown inventory levels and shipping time frames.  I believe we are going to be able to fill all existing orders with new inventory. We should be back up and running 100% next week and to get all open orders shipped.  

Website should be back up and running next week with new inventory.

does that mean you'll be selling flood-damaged stuff for a discounted rate?

You had 5.5 feet of water in the shop?

Yes we will have separate Flood categories set up for all items that received an moisture from the Flood.  We will explain in detail what damage, if any, was sustained by the product.  Most of the packaging has been discarded so most items will not have packaging.  Most of the products came through the flood with little to no damage.  Other items (such as ammo) were a total loss.

Yep. Very evident water line left in numerous parts of the shop.  Some other local businesses had over 7 feet of water.

Sorry to hear that, hopefully you didn't lose too much.
If you aren't representing Jesus in a way that makes people want to hang out with you, you're doing it wrong.

That sucks. Hopefully the monetary loss is small / insignificant. Floods are fucking awful.
