The storm swerved away from populous Miami and skirted the state's Gold Coast on Monday. Though considerably weakened since it stunned the Caribbean Islands of Dominica, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic with at least 800 deaths, the hurricane packed 80 to 90 mph winds as It Wved up the coastline. The storm's center at midnight was at latitude 28.8 north and longitude 80.4 west, near Kennedy Space Center. It was moving north at 10 mph with peak winds of 90 mph. It was expected to continue that course for several hours, which would take It back over water and allow it to maintain or increase its strength.

Behind David lay at least five dead and millions of dol lars of damage along the Florida peninsula, and more than 840 victims In the Caribbean1 islands of Puerto Rico, Dominica and the Dominican Republic. Officials In the Dominican Republic said Monday the death toll there had risen to more than 800. In Georgia', thousands of tourists and islanders fled across bridges to safety on the mainland. Tourists cut short vacations at South Carolina resort areas, and North Carolina officials brushed up evacuation plans.

At 1:30 this morning, it was pinpointed east of New Smyrna Beach. But, unlike the killer he was In the Caribbean, David showed merciful ladylike qualities. While he frightened and threatened and spanked hundreds of thousands of Florldians, not a single death was directly attributable to his stateside adventure, as of 1 a.m. today. Damage to property ran into mind boggling millions of dollars, but fell far short of the catastrophy that was feared when David made his first pass at Miami with more than 100 mile an hour winds before dawn Monday.

When David cast his eye up Florida's East Coast, more than 75,000 beach dwellers' In Brevard and In dlan River counties evacuated their homes and took refuge In more than 40 schools along the Space Coast mainland.
