I'd be interested in knowing how your insurance company has handled it. I hear a lot of talk about "act of God" escape clause, etc.

With climate change, Canada is now getting more frequent and violent tornadoes, so it's something to be aware of.

BTW Happy Thanksgiving Canucks !!

Yup, I've been doing all that you've outlined. The problem is that I get a message that the file failed to upload. I've tried several approaches, even different pictures, all with the failed to upload message. Its frustrating because the pictures are on my laptop, and I can clearly see where they are, but, they won't upload, and no reason is given. Thanks for the guidance anyway.

Is there anything salvageable on the damaged car? You might ask if you can buy back for salvage value.

Sorry to hear this my condolences. Is it the one in your avatar? Any chance you can save it?

If you want to and have the option, you'd have lots of spare parts.

Using the 'attach photos' procedure you outlined, if the file size is 2mb or larger I've had NO luck posting them as an "attachment". I get an upload failure every time.

There could be basic image editing software in your laptop. If you right-click on a thumbnail image you should see 'edit' or 'open with' as options in the menu that comes up.
Under 'open with' there may be "Paint", I use it to add text or circles & arrows to photos AND you can 'resize' a photo to just under 2mb so the FordBarn server will accept it. There is a bit of a learning curve that can take time to become easier.
The 'Edit' function may do re-sizing as well, but I've not tried it.

There is an other option (somewhere) that allows you to put a full size photo directly into the body of a message, but someone else needs to explain that one.

If FordBarn could update something in their server to automatically resize photos as they are uploaded it would be so much easier.

(edit)
Quote from a FordBarn FAQ...

How do I attach a file to a post?
To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.
On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.
To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file. To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page. Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.
Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window. You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
What files types can I use? How large can attachments be?
In the attachment window you will find a list of the allowed file types and their maximum sizes. Files that are larger than these sizes will be rejected. There may also be an overall quota limit to the number of attachments you can post to the board.
How do I add an image to a post?
If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed.

Sorry to hear about your loss. It looked to be a great car. Glad that you were able to replace it with a more upmarket model. Lots of great salvageable parts on this wreck.

Too bad. The car needs a complete body shell, a roof or a full clip wouldn't help. Both doors, a trunk lid and a front fender. The left frame rail may be bent, it appears to have a pretty good droop. So many pieces of trim needed could be a real problem. Then interior, dash, window reveal mouldings, and glass. A nice car left as a parts car. Maybe 2-3 grand salvage...IMHO.
