Hello to everyone. We’d like to extend our thoughts and prayers to anyone who’s been affected by this devastating hurricane last Wednesday. Our communities such as Bayside Estates, Palmetto Palms, Thunderbird Manufactured Homes, and many others have endured devastating damage from Hurricane Ian. For many of you not here and those that are, we wanted to reach out to help with current conditions and the next steps to move forward.
Clean-up has begun in every community and we are so happy to see neighbors and strangers helping one another! Along with that, there are many rumors of properties and entire communities being condemned, and that FEMA will take your home. This is not factual information and many residents are already working to remediate their homes.The following are ‘Next Steps’ that may be helpful:
