Bill Nelson on Michael Aftermath: ‘It’s Going To Be Like’ Hurricane Andrew in 1992 in Small Towns

EXCERPT:

NELSON: "Just exactly what you’ve been reporting. It’s devastation and as you go east of Panama City, that’s where the — the right side of the hurricane, the most ferocious winds were and Mexico Beach. I imagine when we finally get into the next town which is Port St. Joe, I think you’re going to find devastation, particularly Mexico Beach, because there’s no barrier island outside of it, so it was getting the full force of the wind and the water. Further east, Port St. Joe is a natural harbor with a cape around it, Cape San Blas. It would have had some protection, but no doubt it’s going to be like not anything we’ve seen since hurricane Andrew in 1992 down south of Miami. It’s going to be like that over there in those small little populated areas. They will be flattened completely."
