Have some friends that live on Merritt Island, they have only lived in Florida for about 5 years now, so have only been through a couple, Mathew and Hermine last year.
They have decided to stay (us shaking our heads in disbelief)
But he has talked with some neighbors that have been through other hurricanes there and they are staying as well.
Crazy , they should have been out of there yesterday !
Hermine was a piece of crapola west coast tropical storm. Caused a tremendous amount of damage over there. Mathew was a fairly impressive Cat1 storm that affected areas of the NE and central east coasts most heavily. Point is that I wouldnt have based my decisions to stay in Merrit Island based on those 2 storms. As I've said in other threads on here, I'm staying put. But if I lived in Merrit Island, I would already be gone.
