For Jay Lee Dean, this has been a bitter loss.
Dean moved his furniture repair shop to Riverdale less than a year ago,
hoping to capitalize on its promising location near a busy highway.
That was before four feet of floodwater filled his shop last weekend,
ruining his stock, his merchandise and his equipment.
((SO THIS IS, ESSENTIALLY A TOTAL LOSS FOR YOU? THIS HAS BEEN A TOTAL LOSS.))
If it's true, misery loves company, Dean is not alone.
