Impressive. That’s 300k more than Ole Miss fans would raise.

this certainly is a great story and I feel for this guy and his family, but since we're talking cold hard cash - isn't this what insurance is for?

Unless you have a mortgage, most states don't legally obligate you to have homeowners insurance. And then there is insurance on the contents. Most people in this country don't have coverage that will replace the house and contents.
