I lived in Melbourne, FL for several years in the 1990s and dodged Hugo and Andrew. Keep in mind Andrew was a Cat 4 when it hit. This one will likely be slightly stronger and more persistent. I drove through what was left of Homestead in early 1993 a few months after Andrew and it was insane. The devastation was so complete it's almost indescribable. They'd run bulldozers through the rubble so there was a street grid but other than that - nothing but piles of what used to be homes and people's lives for blocks and blocks. Not a sound. Deathly quiet and nobody around. Weird, post-apocalyptic stuff.

This is no joke. Yes the space coast is a lot better built and has FAR better infrastructure than the trailer parks and gutter homes down in Homestead but still... This is going to be a bad deal. Stay safe. I'd leave and head inland or north for a few days.
