People on the beach in Navarre, Florida, as Isaias approaches<\/p>\n

John Guoth, a resident of Navarre, Florida, where Hurricane Isaias is forecast to make landfall, says he and his wife will remain in their home despite the rest of his street having already left. <\/p>\n

“It’s a hurricane, we get them all the time… we kind of knew that when we moved here,” he tells the BBC.<\/p>\n

“Pretty much everything that can fly and will fly is battened down, and everything that cannot fly is really, really secured,” he says, adding: “That’s my home. I’m going to protect it.” <\/p>\n

Guoth says he’s put his ducks and chickens in the bathroom and weighed down his boats and trailers so “nothing flips over”.<\/p>\n

However, he tells me this is not the approach most of his street is taking: “There’s nobody here. Everyone’s gone.” <\/p>\n

He says there are “a couple of households” remaining in the area, adding “we’re long-term locals, so we’re going to stay here, and we’re going to protect our homes”.<\/p>\n

“We’re just loving life, all you can do, we’re going to cook until there’s no power, and then we’re going wait until there is power,” he adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everything secured – including the chickens – as Florida resident awaits Isaias’ approachpublished at 21:38 BST 21:38 BST…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":876781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,3,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-876780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-news","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=876780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/876781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=876780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=876780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=876780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
