Longtime Merritt Island Restaurant Flattened By Milton

It seems like it’s been there forever, but it’s not standing anymore. Hurricane Milton left Ms. Apple’s Crab Shack along the Merritt Island Causeway, a well know waterfront destination since 1991, in ruins. The place was already closed for remodeling, but now it has suffered severe damage, with mangled beams, a collapsed patio roof, and crushed picnic tables. Neighboring Doc’s Bait House remained open. Now, plans for Ms. Apple’s future are uncertain.
