The county has just ordered a mandatory evacuation of barrier islands and manufactured homes effective 7:00 am Wednesday morning, November 9th. Once the evacuation comes into effect, you will not be able to return to the island until the order is lifted. When that happens, you will need a hurricane pass or a positive form of identification proving that you reside on the island.
Whether or not you shelter in place or evacuate is a personal decision. However, once winds reach 45 miles an hour, First Responders, Police, Fire, and Ambulance will not answer calls until the winds subside.
As previously reported, we can expect flooding on Lake Drive, heavy surf, and possibly breaking waves on the Inlet Walkway. It is strongly urged you stay away from the Inlet until the storm subsides.
PBSO and the Mayor will be on duty tomorrow morning to answer any questions.
Any further communication will be via a Reverse 911 call.
