This was from Green Turtle about an hour ago. Yikes!

Man some of the videos coming in on Twitter from Marsh Harbour are pretty terrible. Pretty amazing they still have Internet.
It’s a weak one but will do some damage.[/url]
Mandatory evacuation in my county (St Johns) issued for 0800 tomorrow for folks in areas A and B..
Even though Miami is out of the Cone now, I’m going to finish my hurricane prep. I have two trailer boats in my yard. Any suggestions for securing trailer boats?
That's a very early call, no?
I agree, was very surprised at the call. I haven't heard of any other counties doing that yet.
Keeping the boat secured to the trailer and then the trailer secured to something solid.
Remove & stow anything that is loose. Including seats if removeable.
Stow these items inside if possible
Connect the winch to the bow eye (if not already) And the bow anchor strap.
Run mooring lines from cleats to the trailer or under the trailer to the other side.
Use anchor straps on the stern to trailer frame
Run mooring lines or straps around the entire stern under the trailer.
As stated above if possible run lines to screwed in ground anchors.
Or strap trailer frame to foundational structures. (Tree trunk, pole or other)
Connecting tow vehicle to trailer may help depending on the weight of the TV to Trailer. If light trailer I would connect the TV. Like the boat-trailer weighs half of the TV. Keeping the boat-trailer from being air borne of moving is the goal.
Block up trailer and put some water in the bilge to weight it down.
Mobile home twist in ground anchors with a couple of ratchet straps over the boat
That's a very early call, no?
I am quite happy staying and seeing how it goes. But the young lady is right now moving patio and pool stuff inside the house and telling me we are going!
Boat is on the hill for the week, so insurance will be happy with that plan if anything happens. Well inland at Lambs where the effect right now is seen to be not as bad. But any "wobble" west could be bad news.
We will see what tomorrow brings! We would probably head off to a Destin resort Tuesday and make a mid-week dirty beach weekend out of it!

It is, but be aware of what A and B are and history. Palm Beach has also issued A and B evacuations. They're mobile homes and barrier islands. My understanding is Mar a Lago is in the evacuation zone.
Jacksonville area has had a rough past few years and will likely flood again.
I wouldn't think you'd be in an evacuation zone.
Got your paid reservations?
