You might recall that my last article highlighted what I believe is happening in the real estate market and the economy at large. This month, I asked a select group of my colleagues to give you their corporate real estate “weather forecast.”
One author I enjoy reading writes about anchoring deep to weather life’s storms. Over the past 30 days I’ve made two trips to Florida and one to Atlanta in and around the timeframe of Hurricanes Dennis and Emily. It was fascinating to watch these storms form and progress on satellite photos. Luckily, the only impact they had on me was a few airport delays and minor deviations in flight plans.
However, I got to thinking about how some hurricanes and other weather disturbances came as a great surprise before the days of your friendly, local meteorologist. Sure, certain telltale signs might indicate an approaching storm, but I’ll bet in many cases it was difficult to tell a large storm from a hurricane before it was too late. Often, I doubt there was enough time to prepare before it hit.
