news ?? on JB homes etc

I have been looking around but have seen nothing in particular.

But his home in Palm Beach is very near the water. That is not good in this case. Other pictures I have seen at palmbeachpost.com don't look good for his area.

have not listened to Radio Margaritaville to hear if there was anything there.

Yeah he will have to raise the prices if he wants to replace all his stuff (IF that happens, lets hope it does not. hopefully nothing will happen to Jimmy and his family and collection of toys).

I heard that the Margaritavich was moored in Pensacola during Ivan, but have no confirmation of it, and no damage reports. But if you've seen the place Ouch!!

JB Palm Beach home

Dug up some info on Jimmy's home in Palm Beach on palmbeachpost.com that their landscaping was messed up... No mention of other damage. Considering his location to the water, :roll: lucky!

I've seen his house and wouldn't expect too much damage. It's pretty solidly built. Landscaping would be a different story however.

It looks sturdy enough to take the winds, but it could flood with
a big storm surge. I certainly hope it did not. I'd hate to see the
Australian pine hedge damaged, since it's the first one I ever saw,
but I imagine it was pretty vulnerable. (And being an illegal plant
to replace... :( I LOVE THOSE TREES! Grew up with them. Miss them dearly.)
