He had every reason to believe that by Thursday Wilma would be a category 3 <br />hurricane and would impact Indian River County; how much impact would become clearer in the <br />next 48 hours. The computer models were indicating landfall on the west coast of Florida, <br />movement across the state, and exiting the east coast of Florida. This storm is a definite concern <br />and is similar to Hurricane Irene in 1999. Because of the possible threat to Indian River County, he <br />would be keeping residents informed on TV Comcast Channel 27 beginning immediately so no <br />one is caught off-guard. He anticipated that impact to our vicinity would be late Saturday night <br />with the strongest winds early Sunday morning. (Clerk’s Note: Hurricane Wilma stalled off the <br />Yucatan Peninsula but followed the predicted path and crossed the east coast of Florida to the <br />south of Indian River County on Monday, October 24, 2005.) <br /> <br />6.
