$80000 is reasonable? $55 for one pack of Shingles, maybe some drywall patch, perhaps it damaged some roof sheathing, but that can be mostly papered over with asphalt patch most likely.

But then I was thinking maybe in 2024 80k is actually kinda small. :shrug:

You would think NASA would have been proactive here, reaching out before a claim was filed, to maintain good public relations.
