Well, it looks bad and there is no time to wait. We have been boxing gliders all day and I flew the Yellow Gorilla to a more secure location at my home on FD25. We will batten down the hatches and hope for the best, but this ole girl looks bad. Hope all the other glider clubs have the hangars available to protect their assets. hope all of you fare well in the monster. Bob , Vero Beach Irma getting closer and we are as prepared as we can be. Does anyone know what the other clubs or commercial operations in Florida have done to prepare for this beast. Miami Gliders, Labelle, Tampa, Seminole, and North Florida.

I received a FB message from Rich @ Seminole-Lakes. They have a Cat 4 hanger and all their aircraft and gliders/trailers have been put in it. Rich also said they even took down the flag pole. Not sure about the private gliders and where/or if they went anywhere. Best. Tom #711.

All of our aircraft with Citrus Soaring are secured as well as possible in hangars etc.
Eagle Sport that is also based at Pierson has all of their aircraft in hangars also. As Tom mentioned Seminole Lake is all secure. North Florida Soaring posted on Facebook that their fleet is now in hangars also. Not sure about any of the other clubs at this time. Franklin Burbank

What's your elevation?
How far from the coast? What's the expected storm surge? Hoping for the best!

We are 20+ miles inland at Pierson and 70ft above sea level.
I know treasure coast is closer to the coast but don't know the details.

Treasure Coast Soaring Club's hangar at X52 is 25'msl and about 12 miles inland. Wind beating on the old hangar is more of a concern than flooding.
