Local news for Brevard County and the Space Coast

Daily Recap

Wednesday on the Space Coast: Nov. 11, 2026

Wednesday, November 11, 2026

Both Multi-Agency Resource Centers for flood survivors in Palm Bay and West Melbourne remain open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to a 5:45 p.m. update from the Brevard Emergency Operations Center. The EOC said Brevard libraries reopen Thursday, Nov. 12, and residents can again pick up free flood clean-up kits, while supplies last, at the Melbourne, Palm Bay, South Mainland (Micco) and West Melbourne libraries; County Solid Waste Management contractors began picking up debris from flood-damaged homes on Tuesday, Nov. 10, and the county asks residents to sort curbside flood debris into two piles, household waste and construction debris, keep piles away from trees, mailboxes, water meters and overhead wires, and leave hazardous items like gasoline, paint and rechargeable batteries out of curbside piles.

The Space Coast Wire's new seismograph and infrasound monitor arrived in Brevard County on Nov. 10 and is now in its permanent spot, collecting readings around the clock, after a move later that night to a quieter location where typical background noise on the seismograph dropped by about 40 percent in the first hours compared with the temporary setup. The magnetometer was also moved that night, with interference dropping by about two-thirds and field strength now looking much closer to what is typical for this part of Florida; live traces are on the Seismograph, Infrasound and Magnetometer pages, official earthquake magnitudes still come from the U.S. Geological Survey, and new 1-to-10 comparison scales - the SCW Shake, Boom and Magnetic scales - are coming soon.
