IKE was pushed south by the strong Bermuda high and kept in check by wind sheer. this kept Naples and South Florida, even the KEYS, from the hurricane winds. All Naples had was another small surge in tide levels.
On the Real Estate front a few foreclosures in Royal Harbor are starting to sell in the area showing that most think we have reached the bottom of the market. Good news for buyers not so good for those wanting to sell.

Formation of East Naples Bay Advisory board
The newly appointed East Naples Bay advisory board met today for the first time. they were updated by the engineering firm hired by the city council to do the research on the area. they elected a chairman, Ted Toybe and V. Chmn Jim Doan other members are Bonnie Mattieo, Terry Green, Harold Oldak and chip Harris (who was not present.)
The meeting was an organizational one. One public speaker (me) spoke to the new committee regarding funding and the 4 separate areas to be dredged. Royal Harbor, Oyster Bay, Golden Shores and Naples Bay. It was suggested each fund its own area. The committee asked the engineers to break out the costs by these 4 areas and to have them ready for the next meeting Oct 6.

When Gustov passed a few hundred miles to the West of Naples it caused a 3 foot increment in the tide. See the photo of my canal just after high tide. Many areas went over the sea wall. (this is storm surge) It caught us really by surprise as we did not think it would have that much effect. A few streets along the beach flooded due to overloaded storm drains.
