Post-Dorian: How did we get so LUCKY?

Somebody upstairs really likes Miami!

Hurricane Dorian spent 4 days hugging the Atlantic Coast of Florida spinning Cat 5 winds and biblical amounts of torrential rain and storm surge, 2 1/2 of those days in a virtual state of directional paralysis, and yet....Miami walked away virtually without a scratch!!! Thank you, God!

As a homeowner, like everyone else the word "hurricane" strikes a very sensitive nerve.  The very possibility of a major storm hitting my home and endangering the wellbeing of my family sends me into "Guardian of the Galaxy" mode, making preparations and taking measures to protect everything I own and love, as well as trying to help out family members, friends, and neighbors.   As a Realtor, the mindset extends beyond that to include past and current clients, service providers, and entire communities.

The fact that Miami was spared Dorian's wrath is nothing short of a miracle.

We've all seen the devastating images on TV and the internet of the damage and destruction Dorian has caused in the Bahamas and beyond.  If I were from any other part of the country or the world, I'd find it next to impossible to believe that Miami suffered very little if any damage.

So here's proof.  I've listed a fantastic luxury home in North Coconut Grove at 1672 Micanopy Ave, about 150 yards from the edge of Biscayne Bay.  I had my photographer come out yesterday to take a few exterior photos, and I was amazed at how great they turned out.  Take a look:

A little trivia. The city of Miami is the only major American city founded by a woman.  It was Julia Tuttle who convinced Henry Flagler to build his railroad South from Jacksonville and have him persuade farmers to develop Dade County into an agricultural Mecca after a long winter frost ruined the North Florida citrus harvest of 1894-95. Maybe it's the woman's touch that has bestowed Miami with its beauty, color, excitement, resiliency and sensual qualities.  I don't know, but I like to think so!

For more information on this and other beautiful homes in South Florida, I'd be honored if you visited LoveMiamiLuxury.com.
