Vero During a hurricane?

[surgefest]

Completely Random question but i am genuinely curious. Has anyone ever been at Vero beach during a Hurricane or Hurricane in the area??? I'm curious what it was like at the resort if you stayed? How it was handled etc. Other than the obvious bad weather.

The resort closed twice for hurricanes in 2004.
I believe both times they closed for about a week, but I could be wrong on that.
I don’t remember how they handled relocating the guests.

I think that was the last time the area took a direct hit, but again I could be mistaken.

I agree, they’ve closed the resort when threatened by a hurricane (probably when NWS issues a certain level of watch or warning for the area). IIRC, guests were offered rooms at WDW, but I could be mistaken.

Here’s an article about what was the most recent time, and it includes a reference to a previous hurricane closure: https://dvcnews.com/other-resorts/vero-beach/4567-vero-beach-resort-to-reopen-friday.
