Key Largo (FL) Residents Forced to Flee Hurricane's Path
KEY LARGO, FL (October 20, 2005) - Members of Key Largo Community Covenant
Church have been ordered to leave their homes because of the threat from
Hurricane Wilma, says Kurt Miericke, superintendent of the Southeast
Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church..
No other areas in which Covenant churches are located have been
evacuated, he said, but added the situation could change by the day,
depending on the path of Wilma. Weather forecasters now predict the
record-setting hurricane will strike the southern tip of Florida
sometime Sunday afternoon or evening, according to news reports.
During Katrina, Covenant Village of Florida had to evacuate its most
severely ill residents due to power outages. While preparations are in
place, early indications are that the hurricane will not directly strike
Broward, where the Covenant retirement community is located, says
Stephanie Petrasky, the institution's disaster response coordinator.
