Damage to actual structures in the area is much lighter compared to Volusia County to the north.
Across the county we saw a damaged park sign, power lines down, and debris and yard waste lining the roads. On Merritt Island, winds ripped shingles off a roof and threw them everywhere.
Residents Channel 9 spoke to said they are glad the overall damage wasn’t worse.
