In the past several weeks we've stayed at Glacier Canyon, Reunion and Bonnet Creek with our 2 granddaughters. They cleared the pools when there was lightning. At Bonnet Creek they wouldn't even let us have golf clubs either. Most places the policy is pools are closed for 30 minutes after the last lightning in the area. We weren't thrilled about having to get out of the pools but we aren't stupid.
We live in Florida not far from the Pompano Beach resorts and got home on Tuesday evening to find our AC wasn't working. I quickly booked us into Palm-Aire until tomorrow. A little while ago I stepped out on to the balcony to look around as the sky was really dark overhead, I could see lightning and hear thunder. I stood there and watched four kids playing in the pool while there was significant thunder and lightning happening. And it hadn't just started either. It was loud enough to be heard indoors. I was very surprised that no one came out to clear the pools.
Florida is the lightning capital of our Country. Last year my husband retired from working for an insurance company. As part of his job he did claims investigations. All of Florida from Sarasota over to Fort Pierce and clear down to Key West was his territory. He did more claims than the rest of the people in the entire 10 State Southeast region put together and a good percentage of them were lightning related and in this Southeast part Florida
I don't normally do the surveys they send after our stays but I will make sure to do it this time. I'm sure Wyndham has a policy about lightning and clearing the pools because of the liability.
