Welcome to the new Long Beach Wyndham facility

Friday, September 19th, 2008

The new Wyndham is now open and the facility is attracting many of the Wyndham members who love the Peninsula.  We are happy to see them and we will do our best to make sure they have a wonderful stay in our beautiful area and come back many more times in the future.

We are sure there will be many new visitors to your community and the visitors at all times of the year will be a benefit to all of us that live here.

The new Wyndham facility has already involved themselves in local organization and the addition of the new transit room tax will help us in developing our visitor base. 

Again, we thank Wyndam for locating on the Long Beach  Peninsula and wish them great success.

There is a website that give a computer model of what will happen to the Long Beach Peninsula if we have a 9.1 subduction zone earthquake.  The following is the address for the website:

 

The smaller virsion of the file is at http://nctr.pmel.noaa.gov/animations/animation_lb.mov

The web page for the animations is at http://nctr.pmel.noaa.gov/animate.html

 

The easist link may well be the last one.

 

Again, it is always a good idea to determine your best route of evacuation as experts tell us we may have between 15 to 30 minutes after this very big earthquake before the first wave of the tsunami hits the peninsula.
