Hurricane Damage to Historical Structures of St. John's County

The history of St. John's County, Fl is vital to all parts of society. The tourism to this area of the First Coast is evidently dependent on the existence of its historically important sites. What would happen to the historical sites of this area if a major hurricane were to make a direct landfall?
This is a vital question to everyone who lives here. Fortunately, St. John's County has not had a direct landfall from any hurricane since 1964 (Dora Cat. 2) and has never seen a major hurricane directly impact the area. We might be overdue. I hope not. This study is to see what would happen to these historic sites if a Category 3,4, or 5 hurricane were to ever strike this area. Lets hope this never occurs.

Final Project: Hurricane Study of Historic Sites of St. John's County


I hope everyone has a great couple weeks off and I am excited to get started on my internship which starts tomorrow and our final class.

    David,
    Looks great, do not think I am being picky, the Saffir Simpson Scale cut&paste is blurry. You might want to check out the Northeast regional Planning Council to see if they have any further impact information. I worked for Duval and Nassau county Emergency Preparedness years ago and I know they always had economic data along with the surge and flooding data.
