Jorge and his wife own a beachfront vacation home in Savannah, Georgia.

Fortunately, during a calm in the storm, Jorge is able to board up the door, which limits the water damage to the kitchen. The items damaged in the storm are:

What is the amount of Jorge€™s casualty loss before considering any annual limitations that mayapply?
