Looking like a direct hit coming to Melborne / Palm Bay FL, right where I have my Winter retreat shack. Wish me Luck !
The saving grace is the Indian River (inner coastal waterway) and the beach side properties on it's East shore. That diffuses the storm surge as the hurricane comes on to land. Atlantic Ocean is one mile out as the crow flies.
Have survived quite a few near misses there over the last 6 years, this time may be a different story. Have the place all batten down good for 120 mile per hour winds, anything more than that I guess I will have to go down and clean up the mess, bring in a travel trailer and hook up to the utilies and good to go again for a while.
Knew this all too well holding property in Florida. Hope it does not have to go to "Plan B".
