Gables Estates Club blog partners with weatherunderground.com

The Gables Estates Club blog has partnered with weatherunderground.com to provide our residents, guests, and faithful readers quick and accurate weather information. Upon opening the Gables Estates Club blog, at the bottom of the page is an interactive Weather Section. This is the most interactive and dynamic Weather Section yet. The searchable HTML section delivers condition, temperature, pressure, and wind information. It tells the time, changes colors depending on weather severity (the blue bar turns red to indicate importance), and allows users to instantly click over to detailed forecast information, radar images, and travel information. Should the weather conditions being reported in this section indicate severe weather or weather warnings, the blue bar at the top becomes red to draw attention. To top it all off, there's a search box that will let users jump to any location of their choosing. Just below the Weather Section are quick links to some of the places and things that Gables Estates Club members and guests will find useful. The quick links are for:

Biscayne National Park
Coral Gables Police Department

Fairchild Tropical Garden

Gables Estates Club

The City of Coral Gables

The Wackenhut Corporation

United States Coast Guard Base Miami

The Gables Esates web blog continues to strive to inform and entertain the residents and guests who enjoy the beautiful lifestyle and community that is the Gables Estates Club.

Security is Number One Priority with Gables Estates

One of the top priorities, taken very seriously by the Gables Estates Club is providing continuous security for our membership and their families. The affects of the security program are evident when first approaching the Gables Estates community. Drivers are greeted by an armed officer at either of the Arvida Parkway or Casaurina Concourse entrances to Gables Estates. Motorists will notice the surveillance cameras recording the license tags on vehicles as well as the driver's face as they enter into Gables Estates. Surveillance cameras are also located in several other land side areas plus the waterway entrances from Biscayne Bay. The Gables Estates community also benefits from twenty four hour coverage of armed guard vehicles patroling the community in addition to bike and marine patrols. Gables Estates also employs some of the finest Off Duty Police Officers available from the City of Coral Gables Police Department.
