Hurricane Worries at KSC

Hurricane Matthew poses a significant threat to Kennedy Space Center, Ars Technica

"Ars reached out to Kennedy Space Center's Amber Philman on Tuesday afternoon, and she said the center is currently at HURCON III status, which means officials there expect sustained 50 knot winds within 72 hours. Hurricane preparations and facility securing will begin Wednesday morning, she said. Other tenants are also closely watching the storm. "We're closely monitoring the weather conditions and working with our partners at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to safeguard facilities and personnel in the potentially affected areas." Most of Florida's east coast is presently under a hurricane watch, according to the National Hurricane Center."
