Well my brother really came through for me. He came over with his wife, her sister and kids, and 3 teenage boys to help me out. While I was getting blown out just cleaning and keeping up with the bunch, they powered through and demo'd the drywall 4 feet up pretty much everywhere that was wet except the garage and laundry/storage. Truly life savers.
The damage seems to be fairly minimal, still going through cleaning up and spraying bleach/water solution on the exposed studs, but I think I might be able to put up some new drywall and insulation (insulation actually mostly looks fine, but no sense in taking chances) in some affected areas as soon as tomorrow.
Strangely, the worst area found had nothing to do with storm damage, it was from a poorly implemented stand up shower in an unused bathroom. I wonder if I can claim that on homeowners to get it fixed. Hmm.
