Luckily my latest guests have just headed home before an unwelcome visitor arrives in Florida on Friday according to my management company's latest e-mail...
HURRICANE IRENE
HI
Not sure if you knew but we have a Category 3 Hurricane arriving on Friday morning, might be a cat 4 if its strengthens.
As usual we are planning ahead and are currently calling all our guests to make them aware, some of them did NOT know it was coming but this has always been our practice to make a personal call to each of our homes to raise awareness & so they can ask questions. We dont know of many other management companies that do this but we feel guest safety is essential.
Once we know how bad it is we will make plans to visit properties to check them but please remember that we may have a curfew like in 2004 so we will not be allowed drive until the law enforcement lift the curfew.
Also remember they may restrict phone calling to allow for emergency services & utilities, please try not to call us, email is best BUT we may have no power!!
Off to fill up the cars with fuel now, just in case !!
