'We've had several friends text and call us to say we're welcome to stay with them, as far away as Nashville,' Don Killingsworth said. 'But we're going to stay here unless it's a direct hit.'
TITUSVILLE, Fla. — About a dozen people dug shovels into a sandy embankment Friday evening as friends and family members stood by holding plastic sacks and zip-ties. One group had dug their way down to their hips, while people in the crowd made their own sandbags to protect their homes.
"Oh my God, where's it going to hit?" she said."It looked like Titusville straight up, then Orlando, and now it's somewhere between here and Miami. So yeah, it's insane." As she leaned on her shovel, Kayla Rapp, 32, said she used to be more confident ahead of hurricanes. But now with a young son at home, she said she didn't feel as resilient.
A constant stream of people waited for female inmates from the Brevard County Jail to fill thousands of sandbags and stack them in the trunk of their cars.
