No fear to the museum from waves. The cut at the barrier island is
actually a ways away (as is Pensacola bay) and the museum is further
inland and higher (field is 33 feet IIRC) than you would think.
Certainly wind and rain could do some damage but the building is pretty
darn new and the building codes in Florida were instituted with
Hurricanes in mind.


Good news, but is the navy bound by civilian building codes?

A hurrcane blew through Pensacola while I was in Preflight, more
than half a century ago. Don't kow how strong it was; no names or
strengths were assigned in those days. But we sat it out in old wood
barracks, so I guess it wasn't too powerful.
