Clubs Report on Aftermath of Hurricane Ike
Clubs Report on Aftermath of Hurricane Ike
Last week we held those clubs in Texas and Louisiana close in our thoughts as
Hurricane Ike made landfall. Printed below is information about our clubs from
AANR-Southwest President Lucy Hide.
Fortunately, the damage to our regional clubs was minimal: Emerald Lake Resort suffered the most damage, with downed fences, six trees lost, no power/water, and roof leaks in the clubhouse. Twelve brave souls rode out the storm in the clubhouse, so they were on hand to immediately do what they could to mitigate damage when rainwater started dripping into the clubhouse. Natural Horisun suffered no structural damage, just one limb came through the roof of a trailer cover. The remainder of damage was many limbs and tree debris on the grounds. Lone Star Resort was also without power and had several trees “topped” by the winds. Castaways Travel had no power earlier in the week. Members of the Healthy Hides of Houston and Gulf Coast Nudist Yacht Club are still assessing damage to their personal homes, and we all wish them well. Star Ranch, Ponderosa Resort, Gulf Haven, and The Point (formerly BB’s Hideaway) all fared well with no significant damage. We can all count our blessings in this regard. Our members who lived in the areas that received storm damage are working to recover from fallen trees, water damage, and the inconveniences brought on by this disaster.
Whenever bad things such as this storm occur, it is always good to see how our members pull together to help others. Members at NHI took food and water to those in need in Houston; Emerald Lake members pitched in to share food and other necessities while waiting for power to be restored. Members at the affected clubs looked after their neighbors’ possessions, securing deck furniture and other items prior to the storm’s arrival. Once the storm passed, everyone on site got busy helping pick up debris and setting things right. It is really heartwarming to watch our members come together as a “community.” Club owners outside the area called the affected clubs, inquiring about damage and offering to come help clean up if need be. This is the sort of response we know we can count on from all our members and what makes it so nice to be a part of the AANR extended family!

That certainly is good news under the circumstances. And we see that naturists/nudists are the sort of people who rise to te occasion when their follows are in need.
