flooding issues. we've got to take note of that. >> reporter: you're a veteran of these storms. this storm has been unpredictable at best. stephanie has been covering it since yesterday. what worries you specifically? what could still be the threat, the worst case scenario? >> the wobble we had, it was originally going to be 47 miles off our coast line, then 60, now closer to 80 so that wobble back west is really concerning because that changes the entire picture and that's why i want people to just, if you're, wherever you are by later today, just stay inside and be safe. >> what kinds of conditions are you expecting even as soon as noon today? >> at noon we're supposed to be getting tropical force storm winds with possible hurricane gusts, so again, just not conditions to be outside in. >> what makes a barrier island, a city like cocoa beach so vulnerable? tell me about the bodies of water that surround it. >> we are literally a barrier island surrounded by water. we got the atlantic ocean and in some parts my neighborhood is four blocks wide. i have the river two blocks behind me and the ocean two blocks to the east.
