We just made our first visit to Woodhaven Lakes located near
Sublette, IL and wanted to update you on the recovery efforts from last
summers damage from a tornado that happened on June 22nd, 2015. Today
is April 27th 2016 and the park has made major progress in the clean up efforts over the 9
months since the tornado.
The mountain of wood chips is nearly
gone and I estimate that a dozen or two truckloads remain. I believe
that the target was to get things 'back to normal' by June 1st 2016 and
great process has been made in the efforts to meet this objective.
Owners were given 1 year to clean up their lots of the down trees and
other rubbish left from the tornado. Most of them have done so but
there still remains some who made the decision to 'walk away' or abandon
their lots. Most if not all of these were owners that did not have
insurance and found themselves having to foot the bill to comply with
the associations 1 year time limit on their own. My experience leaves
me to estimate that it may be less expensive to start over rather than
to remove the debris.
But the prognosis is positive. The park
looks great for the most part and we had a very nice time on our first
visit of 2016. There are several people relocating their park model
RV's to other vacant lots throughout the park. We have had two new
neighbors so far this year from other parts of the park. The process
I've seen is that the RV is moved and then the repairs necessary are
performed at the new location. This methodology seems to work well and
helps to get a fresh start after the RV is set into the new location.
Well that wraps up my 2016 report. If you are looking for a fun option for your family take a look at Woodhaven Lakes Recreational Park.
