Pelican Bay Mangroves - Hurricane Resources - Hurricane Dean 1st Hurrican of the 2007 Season

The Naples Daily News had a good article in the paper this morning Pelican Bay Mangrove Experiment .  Apparently the experiment that has been going on in restoration has been going well. The mangroves are such an integral part of Pelican Bay that it is great to read that the restoration has been working.

YIKES!  Hurricane Dean is our first named hurricane of the season.  The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports that Dean is moving toward the eastern Caribbean islands where hurricane and tropical storm alerts are in effect.  I put together some good Hurricane Resource Sites The NBC site has insightful information on preparing for a hurricane.  I sincerely hope Dean fizzles out and causes no damage.  I still remember watching, waiting and preparing for Charlie and Wilma too vividly.

Speaking of hurricane preparations.................so many of our seasonal or part time owners leave Naples without bringing in their lanai furniture or flower pots.  Please bring these items inside your home BEFORE you leave Naples.  During a storm, these items can become projectiles that can harm your home or your neighbors.  If you forget to bring these items inside your home before you leave Naples, call a neighbor to bring them in for you as soon as you remember they are still on your lanai.  Why do I say this?  While our seasonal or part time residents are up North following the storm, they suddenly remember their patio furniture is on the lanai and then call a neighbor to bring the furniture.  Being up North these residents have NO IDEA the stress levels of their neighbors and HOW BUSY the neighbors are in securing their own homes.  I write this from experience.

The sun is shining in Pelican Bay and if I am lucky I will make it to the beach tonight.  If you lived in Pelican Bay, you could be enjoying a sunset like this tonight!  Check out these Pelican Bay Homes
