Reminds me of the hurricane parties when Hurricane Camille hit back in 1969!

It was fun till the buildings were washed away!

I agree with you. That hotel isn't going anywhere. Open another bottle and watch what floats by and turn up the battery operated boom box.

If I was single, it would be another "great adventure." Now that I am married, it would a "great adventure" with a lot of nagging later.

***...bragging about how they ain’t afraid of no hurricane.***

That’s what some Yankee said when watching the Tulsa Tornado from his porch back in 1975. That is, until the house across the street exploded into matchwood!

You can’t easily avoid a nuclear bomb, you can easily avoid a hurricane.

That’s one of my favorite songs. My father remembered paddling a boat across his father’s and uncles’ fields in a flood year during World War II.

What ?

Hurricane insurance for a typical private residence homes close to beach in Indialantic
run a lot lower unless it’s commercially zoned and huge .

Try more like 3,200 unless the place was massive .

Save them from what...?

Storm surge is at most 11 to 12 feet.

I hope they are smart enough to move to the upper levels of the hotel, if not they are too dumb to live...

I remember only 7 people in the hotel.

How many Indians were on the porch I can’t recall.

I’m thinking the bar has moved it’s inventory to the second floor and other than staying away from the windows and some darkness, they’ll just suffer from a hangover.

Which will happen first: Recovery from the hangover or water recedes to the ocean. I'm betting on the latter.

Yea. I never researched it just going by what I was told.

Pretty sure Dad just figured he didn’t need a “vacation home” 500 miles away. And no it wasn’t a huge home. Built in 1963. But it was a very cool house(to me) and I loved the area.
