The fact there are workers on JRTI is encouraging...
I got notifications that the Go twins bugged out of port this morning but didn't see anything on EIII... I would assume the ASDS is going to sea as the port has been evacuated?

The harbor will also close to inbound traffic, but the press release doesn't actually say that vessels now berthed there will be required to leave. http://www.floridatrend.com/article/20807/port-canaveral-evacuation-ordered-in-wake-of-hurricane-matthew
The SpaceX drone ship, a casino cruise boat and a Coast Guard cutter are among the ships that will ride out Hurricane Matthew at Port Canaveral.The only people at the port will be tugboat operators risking their lives to prevent catastrophe if something breaks loose, and a security team in a bunker, according to port CEO John Murray.“There are a couple of tug boats, one fuel barge that can’t leave. The SpaceX droneship is moored alongside with a tugboat standing by in case it needs to be protected,” Murray said.
Port Canaveral had a brief landfall of Matthew - eyewall hit it. Severe damage reported. Roofs flying. Not sure what happened to OCSILY, as soon as wind calms down I will go there to see what's going on.
