Cc: Thom Subject: RE: comments by Joerg Friese the owner of the Stella Mans Resort Dear Jeffrey, here is an answer to your concerns from Joerg Friese the owner of the Stell= Maris Resort, who had the following comments concerning your fears, Hi, Eduardo: I have to say to this the following: Stella Maris land allows utterly safe choices of locations for setting up anything physical — and =he right way to build will withstand hurricanes. I myself prefer to have to accept the possibility of occasional hurricane developments any time, befor= I would agree to contend with earthquakes, large forest fires, floods, and tornadoes! We have been through five "real" hurricanes over 50 years, =nd NONE of them had caused major damage! The damages of Long Island occurred where over hundreds of years little west-sea-side settlements and towns hugged what was then the 'easy' west shore, for transportation, but low-lying! It is to be hoped that this fact now provides a chance down Sout= for re-building where one should = on safe land! There is plenty of it! W= ourselves, as all of Stella Maris, had no damage — with the exception of = few roofing shingles and one part of a roof, stone-age old, which just sailed with the wind. The owner of this building sees this as an opportunit= to make over his house "better". Best regards, Joerg. He sees the hurricane as an opportunity to learn how to build and where to =uild, no deaths reported so far in LI as far as we know, really it does compare to the earthquakes in Chile for example. Valdivia was totally destr=yed in the 60s by an earthquake, with thousands of casualties and now hol=s a nice physics center, here in Israel we have terrorism, which does not =eems to be an obstacle for doing physics, California is also no stranger t= natural disasters, but there you have so many physics centers... all the best, Eduardo previous communications Dear Jeffrey, here is an answer to your concerns from the representative of the company w= were thinking that should build the center, Richard Keyworth, who had th= following comments concerning your fears, Hi Eduardo, It is easy to make assumptions following the media reports on Long Island, which have focussed on the damage, obviously. I think we can easily allay M= Epstein's fears, once he realises the type and location of the major damage=and the property involved. A lot of the damage was caused by a storm surge to v=ry low lying properties. This will be of no concern on the land we have in min= at Stella Mans Village which is on high ground. Also the direct high wind dam=ge was to property with a less robust construction. The new Center, along with=all our new builds at Stella Mans Village are built to Category 5 hurricane standard. Our recently constructed new show home has suffered no structural damage at all during the storm. EFTA_R1_01604074 EFTA02485578 Perhaps you could relay this message to Mr Epstein. Best wishes Richard Keyworth may be can ask Richard for more details latter, best, Eduardo From: itini-rx 10132 Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2015 1:04 PM To: jeffrey E.
