VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP)
— High seas and strong winds
battered Florida’s Atlantic
coast Saturday after storms
rivaling a 1979 hurricane forc-
ed nearly 1,000 people from
homes, beached a freighter,
smashed a pier and killed ohe
man.
Gov. Bob Graham on Fri-
day declared a state of
emergency for Volusia and St.
Johns counties in nor-
theastern Florida and
spokeswoman Jill
Chamberlin said the
emergency could be expand-
ed to other areas.
The National Weather Ser-
vice predicted a gradual
lessening Saturday of the
destructive weather as a low-
pressure system responsible
for the storms drifted off to
the northeast.
Nearly 1,000 residents of a
10-mile section of Hutchinson
Island in Indian River County
were ordered from their
homes.
“We’ve got an awful lot of
sea-wall damage and two
establishments that have had
part of their buildings washed
into the ocean,” said Steve
Wells, the county’s director of
emergency management.
American Red Cross
volunteers opened two
shelters, but Wells said some,
of the evacuees made other
plans.
‘ ‘They had a few more come
in ... there were probably 400
to 500 that evacuated the
island,” he said. “A lot of
them came over to the Holi-
day Inn. It’s a lot more fun to
stay there than a Red Cross
shelter.”
The 230-foot Venezuelan
freighter Mercedes 1 was left
“sitting high and dry” about
70 miles south of Hutchinson
Island when it washed ashore
