I have been listening in on the EOC briefings and there are a couple of things to note - 1) The bridges will remain open throughout the storm (as paddleout said) (including eastbound), but, will close after the storm until the DOT verifies the bridges to be safe AND municipalities verify that people can drive A1A and the back road safely. (We don't want people getting stuck in water and getting out of their car with a downed hot power line or something.) Please give the Sheriff's Dept (who will be manning the bridges) a break; this is for our safety. Also, first responders (including Public Works-type employees) will be allowed thru with a valid Town "First Responder" ID. So don't get PO'd that some people are being allowed to cross; they will be removing trees, reporting downed lines, etc. Again, for our safety and so that we can get to our homes once the bridges are opened. We all want to get back to our homes, but, a couple hour delay isn't worth dieing for. 2) Cocoa and Melbourne Public Utilities will shut off the water to the barrier islands "when it becomes necessary". They have said they will not send out their workers when the wind is over 35 MPH. So, please fill your jugs, bathtubs, etc BEFORE 3 PM Saturday. I don't know about Cocoa water customers, but, the barrier island that uses Melb water (south of Pineda) will only have a 3 million gal reserve (which seems like a lot, but is not); we will need it for firefighting, etc., so, fill up early and try not to use the tap after 3 PM Sat, please. We don't want YOUR house to burn to the ground because we have no water. Please help out by spreading this word to your friends, families and neighbors. Thanks and stay safe.
