Hermine Hits Hard
September 2nd, 2016 by flanewsHurricane Hermine rolled into Florida’s Big Bend Thursday night. Matt Galka was on the coast as the storm approached.
St. Mark’s sits about 40 minutes south of Tallahassee. It was one of the first targets in Hermine’s sights. But as the storm rolled in, locals didn’t panic. Max Stuart and his crew actually had a hurricane party by the shore.
“You never really know, you don’t know if it’s going to hit to the west of the peninsula from Apalachicola or it wants to come up east,” said Stuart.
But John Hargan, who lives right near the water. Prepped his boat just in case.
“If we’ve got to go and the waters get too deep, no electricity, whatever the situation may be, yea we are ready to rock,” he said.
St. Mark’s started to flood a little after 6 p.m.
