Okay, I will avoid wearing white…but I will not declare summer over just yet!
A beautiful 7 mile island with so much to see and do.
See you on the beach…or bay 🙂

Sunrise watching- Friday, and again this morning.
The views may have been similar, but my emotional response was completely different. Â
On Friday, we walked down prior to evacuating the island, and I was overwhelmed with sadness and fear.
Today, I was welcomed back by the wide (and intact) beach, dolphins just beyond the wave break, and a warm sun. Ahhh…that’s better 🙂
Back to work and inspecting a few homes before tenants move back in. Minimal damage and only minor flooding issues. Most businesses are back open (although I did hear that Kohler’s Bakery won’t open until Friday- darn) and preparing for the Labor Day weekend.
We are thrilled to be back on the island!
Our shore communities were fortunate, yet it’s important to inspect your property for damage as soon as possible.
We are unable to allow tenants entry or re-entry to a property until the owner or their designated contractor verifies that all utilities are functioning, and that there are no safety issues.
She has yet to arrive, but already creating widespread grief.
We are watching 6ABC news on the Internet and I’m obsessed with Twitter.
This is so much more than a shore event- especially with the current tornado warnings in effect. Scary.
We all REALLY deserve a peaceful beach day…soon.
Picture taken Friday morning (was that only yesterday??)
I was up early preparing and worrying, and knew a walk on the beach to watch the sunrise would help.
Left the island by 10am. Hope to return soon…
Will post Avalon and Stone Harbor updates as I know more.
Yesterday was a crazy day. We were up early to prepare for the mandatory evacuation, took a walk on the beach (posted pictures on Twitter), stopped by my office for a final check, and then headed out.
Our families are long time “beach people”, and many live along the coast. My kind sister and brother in law have 4 additional people to feed for the long weekend!
will continue to track the news and post updates on Twitter
The Cape May County Emergency Management Department has called for a MANDATORY evacuation of all visitors and residents of Cape May County (not just the barrier islands)- except for essential personnel.
This order will be enforced- important to comply. We must all leave by tomorrow.
