Fwiw, I concur!

They’ve been having it come in at Central Brevard County......Kennedy Space Center is moving their huge booster to the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building) tomorrow morning......it will take 8 hours to do the job

re: central Brevard County. My parents lived in the town of Cape Canaveral in the 1980s. That area is basically a huge sandbar. For some reason, hurricanes have always veered away. As a result, it's now an over-built huge sandbar without enough bridges for evacuation. Residents back then believed that it's because of currents affected by the geography.

I would suspect that if and when a monster storm ever hits that area, it'll be wiped out.

Here are some preliminary National Park closings...

Nothing yet on Canaveral National Seashore - but I’m sure they’ll be announcing a closing soon.

Good article here, about NASA moving their $650 million mobile launcher (not a “booster”, actually) to the VAB:

I note that while Launch Control is built to survive a CAT 5 hurricane, the VAB is only rated to CAT 3. Yikes!

Maybe someone can work out how much force a mid-CAT 4 can put on a facing outside wall of the VAB. It has to be an impressive number...
