Remember last years hurricane Matthew? They had mandatory evacuation along several Florida eastern coastal counties including Brevard county where Port Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, and Kennedy Space Center are located. There was virtually no damage in Brevard county but the hurricane did a lot of damage further north along the coast of Florida. It is difficult to track a hurricane even up to the last three days before it makes landfall along the eastern coast of Florida. Irma's current location is too far away to know where it "might" make landfall in the United States.
