Ginger said...: Thanks for your comment. Could you please tell us more about the destruction ie: the type of damage the buildings received...buildings flattened, roof's blown off, or windows blown out? We did get second/third hand information from Randy at Hawk's Nest and understood that only his house (part of roof off) and the marina (major dock damage) incurred major damage. Also understood that the newer homes at Hawk's Nest Community seemed to not have noticeable major damage. Will hopefully learn more later today. Please keep us posted. Thanks,; August 26, 2011 10:12 AM

Anonymous -- cut it out. Candies was open the day after the hurricane. They lost a bit of roof and some ceiling tiles in the store but they mopped up and opened. Now Candies apartments were a different story -- extensive water damage. Smith Bay has a major gash, missing concrete right where the G&G boat ties up. BUt I'd think they could still get in there...
