SARASOTA, FL – The following is a statement from officials at Windward Design Group…
First & foremost, we would like to thank everyone for all the calls, texts, and emails we have received checking on how we did through hurricane Ian. We are happy to report that we have weathered the storm extremely well. Much of the area (including Windward) is still without power and it is too soon to know when it will be restored, but other than that, we were incredibly lucky.
We had a few minor water leaks in the factory and showroom, and damage to some cushion stuffing in the factory, but other than that we were completely spared. Everyone and everything is ready to go as soon as we get our electricity back. We are truly blessed beyond words.
There is devastation all around us, especially to the south. Our hearts go out to those who were not so lucky and blessed. Please keep everyone in your prayers, as we will, and help however you can.
Our focus for the immediate future will be on our employees, their families, and our community. Windward will be back up and running in just a few short days, and our lives will go back to normal, but sadly so many people’s lives in South Florida have been changed forever and our hearts ache for them.
