St. Augustine Lighthouse Preps for Hurricane

The St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum announced closure today as they prepare for Hurricane Dorian.   They are taking all preparations needed to comply with the mandatory evacuation of St. Augustine.

St. Augustine is a city that is near and dear to our hearts and especially the lighthouse since it is the location where we took part in our first ghost hunt.   We always follow what is going on with the lighthouse through their social media and posts and today on their Facebook page, they posted pictures of the association and volunteers preparing the grounds for evacuation.

On their website they posted:

St. Johns County, Fl – Due to intensified conditions of Hurricane Dorian, St. Johns County has issued mandatory evacuation orders effective for 8 a.m. on Monday, September 2 for Evacuation Zones A and B, which includes the entire City of St. Augustine, the City of St. Augustine Beach, and those living on waterfront property or in flood-prone areas.

The St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum is located in Zone A. The nonprofit Museum will be closed Monday-Thursday, September 2-5. Reopening date and time will be announced once Hurricane Dorian has passed.

We hope that everyone is safe and will be following updates about the storm as it moves through the area.
