Backitin, hope you get the chance to get up to the Salmon River this year and don't have too much damage to deal with from the flooding. Your cottage in the southern tier sounds like allot of love was built into it. Your wife's family must be very frustrated not being able to go check on it. Hopefully it will be safe to do so in a few days.
I know what your wife is going thru 30 odd years ago my phone rang in the middle of the night that my parents house was on fire. Neighborhood kids the police felt had broke in and robbed some electronic items and set the house on fire trying to cover up the robbery. By the time I drove the 35 to 40 minutes to Oswego the fireman had got the fire under control. They brought two small books out and set them at my feet and said that was all they felt was salvageable. Luckily my parents and brother were on vaction at the time of the fire; later that same year my Dad's brothers house caught fire from an electrical problem in the wall behind the TV my Uncle, Aunt and Cousin almost lost their lives in that fire. That year reaffirmed for me how precious life is.
Soon the Pulaski area of the Salmon River will be all a buzz with fisherman when the fish start running. It is a beautiful sight seeing all the fisherman in the river! An it also helps the Pulaski economy. Enjoy the fishing season!
