I'm sure his compound has a storm shelter with its own wine cellar.

I heard on a FB board that Necker people are OK, major island damage. Eustacia has the roofs off and Leverick has sustained extensive damage to the houses and the roads are impassable. Have not heard directly from Nick. This was via a satellite phone call.

mmk said: Mr. Branson is no dummy. You can bet any structure he has build in the hurricane zone for his personal use is very well built and designed as a duel purpose room/hurricane shelter. When you see what many of the local island population have for storm shelters I would not hesitate to ride out the storm as well. The main concern for many tourists is not surviving the storm but after the storm, how long before flights resume,and the infrastructure etc. is operating again. He shared some comfy white duvee covered bunk beds for the team in the underground reinforced wine celler.
