After a storm destroyed her house on Northwest 10th Street for the second time in six years, Gail Suskind doubts she will ever live there again.
Recovering from cancer surgery and traumatized by the tornado, "She just doesn't want to come back," said Suskind's husband, Yom-Tov "Vivi" Assidon, as he stepped through the rubble Monday in his roofless home.
Across the street, Jamie Adler and Carlos Burgos, along with their three young children, are living in their ravaged house even though it is condemned. "We have no choice," Adler said. "No insurance. Carlos did repairs, so it's livable."
A week after a F-2 tornado dropped out of the nighttime sky and left a ragged gash in the middle-class New Orleans Estates subdivision, those whose homes were hardest-hit are only beginning to grasp how tough and long the road to recovery will be.
"We're always going to carry this," said Vivi Assidon, 56. "Some things you never forget."
On the south side of the lake, in another of the six Sunrise homes condemned after the Oct. 18 storm, Randa Kader, 43, worried as she prepared to go back to her managerial job at BankAtlantic this week. "I'm still in shock with this, and everyone is going to be asking about it," she said.

I live in Northern Virginia - just outside of DC. I am trying to find a place to rent for myself, my son and our rottie. As you can imagine, trying to find someone to rent to you when you have a rottweiler is practically impossible. I have found a few instances where realtors are asking if the dog has liability insurance as that would ease the mind of the homeowner -- protection against bites, damage...and other acts of terrorism. I contacted my insurance company who has been running into brick walls trying to find renters insurance that will cover a rottweiler - which brings me to my question: Does anyone out there have any recommendations that you could give me on an insurance carrier that would write a policy that includes liability insurance for rottweilers? Joule, We are neighbor's! I am just to the west in Purcellville. I just switched to State Farm because Nationwide after 14 years was dropping me. I can look up the agents name and number when I get home. I switched to them because our Training Director has used them for years with no problems. He has a kennel and breeds rotties.
