I know it well... That really sucks... but what to expect... Our place was demolished ... the roof taken off... 31 years of stuff strewn everywhere I am told.... friends are safe in west bay though... I will be going down in a week and half to try to bring home anything left and then deal with rebuilding... This is a picture of the backside of our place... We are beween the Westin and the new Ritz... We are in the front on the beach... Structure is still standing... the blue building in the foreground is where Eats Cafe is...
Oh God,
the photos says it all.
I know your place well.
Be CAREFUL.
I am so thankful my daughter decided
to leave with her children, thus
sparing me from having to be in flight
right now as previously planned.
Sorry to hear about the heavy damage at theVillas of the Galleon. That's a real nice complex that looked fairly well built. It probably didn't help to have large hotels on each side funneling the wind between them.
No word yet on my mother in law's place up the beach at Sundowner. The place is pretty old so I doubt that it faired well, though the units in her building had storm shutters on the beach side. Did you or your neighbors have any shutters?
David Olson's photos are amazing. I wish he'd supply some captions though.
