Lingering effects of Hurricane Irma

When we arrived at Paradise Pointe RV Resort in November, some 3 months after Hurricane Irma (Sept 16, 2017), we saw major damage to trees, along with some lesser damage to structures. Within a month most of the trees had been trimmed and the debris had been removed. I thought that was the end of the cleanup.

But I was wrong. In February – six months after Irma had passed through – there was a second round of cleanup. Apparently a number of trees had been damaged at the root level and a tree expert had determined that they would not survive. So a second round of tree cutting – not just trimming but complete tree removal – was undertaken. Once again the streets in the park were lined with arborial debris. Some of the streets began to resemble the plains of west Texas. We are told that new trees will be planted to replace the ones that were removed.

Hasn’t happened yet.
