Good afternoon,


Due to the rapid strengthening of Hurricane Michael, and greater than 50% expectation of TS force winds at the following locations, we are in the process of evacuating overnight visitors by 5 PM today at the following locations and will be closed to day use starting tomorrow, 10/9 until further notice. All other parks remain fully open at this time. We will continue to monitor and evaluate their status moving forward. Thanks,
