Machers1 Welcome aboard. I suggest that all bets are off. Keep all the paperwork and expect a long wait. The sums are so extreme and the circumstances so uncharted that everyone will claim from everyone else and no one will want (or be able) to pay. The claims will run on for a year, at least. Expect carriers, insurance companies and others to go bankrupt.
This may sound harsh but, may I invite you and yours to be glad that you are alive and safe and in a country with electricity and running water. Yes, you may lose money and be hideously inconvenienced (a member of my extended family is trapped in Italy and is due to be married this Saturday in Cape Town) but you have your health.
