Hurricanes and Naples Royal Harbor


Peak Hurricane season is here and with stormes lined up in the Atlanatic folks in Naples can only watch the Weather channel and wait. They are hopiong that Hannah, Ike and Josephine all blow somewhere else and not here. So far so good in NAples. FAY hit just south of here , below Marco Island, as a tropical storm and then slowly cruised up the middle of the State and dumped us with a ton of rain. Then Gustov went past on the West. It gave us a surge but nothing else.
Residents here say the main effect of the season so far has been the cancelling of the tourists arrival as each storm presents its path of uncertainty. This has also led to a slowing of the Real Estate market that looked like it was trying to start up after such a long downturn.
We shall see..
