Hurricane Matthew Live Thread II
NOAA/NHC ^ | October 6 2016 | NOAA/NHC

Posted on 10/06/2016 4:10:09 AM PDT by NautiNurse

Hurricane Matthew is big, bad and just downright scary, with iminent and sustained impacts to U.S. mainland. Florida Governor Rick Scott issued a state of emergency for all of Florida and disaster operations are activated. More than 1.5 million Floridians reside in current evacuation zones. Governor Scott has spoken with utilities across the state to ensure utilities are pre-positioned and there are no unmet needs. Multiple coastal hospitals have been evacuated. Meanwhile, feckless President Barack Hussein Obama is personally monitoring the progress of the storm.

OK, I have a question here. I was reading another site, and there were some people that said they were refusing to leave because of possible looting after the storm. Is that a widespread opinion? Thanks for your replies.

That is EF4 according to Wiki. Please, take your nonsense elsewhere. You don’t even have the forecast details correct.

The media is already trying to figure out how to make Governor Scott look bad.

BTW, try the EF scale instead of the older F scale. That is what is being discussed here.

SC will get tropical force winds on shore, plus passing rain bands

You obsess on winds. That tropical system in LA this summer wasn't even a depression yet caused devastating floods from rainfall. And coastal SC is forecast to get 11-15 inches of rain on saturated soils and 3-5 feet of surge backing up streams from the coast. Serious flooding scenario, and water is usually far deadlier than wind.

You are an uninformed troll. Once again, please take it elsewhere.

"It is very interesting what they are saying this storm might do. Turn back south in the Atlantic. I doubt it would cross Florida and end up in the Gulf but one weather man suggested that it could."

There's not an insignificant number of models trending in that direction:

The highest winds I've experienced were in Boulder, CO. They get chinook winds that can exceed 130 mph. When we built our house, my dad doubled the number of nails holding the roofing on and ran aircraft cables from the foundation to the topmost beam of the house. During this storm, the neighbors on both sides lost parts of their roofs; but we were OK.

According to Weather Underground, GFS has Matthew offshore throughout. As with all other models but one.

Since yesterday they are sure showing a lot more possibilities that it might do that.

I sure hope not!

So that cam is the Main street bridge over the St. Johns River in Downtown Jax. They did a lot of stabilization work on that bridge yesterday in prep for the storm. Jacksonville is split by the St. Johns river — what is interesting is that once sustained winds are over 35 MPH, authorities close all the bridges separating the east and west side as well as the southside from the beaches. I have been here 14 years, and this is the first time it looks like it will happen. Additionally because the river runs south to north — with an easterly turn just beyond that bridge — the storm surge comes up the river and can flood a long way inland. Scary time to be in northeast florida.

According to the current GFS run underway via Tropical Tidbits, the center of the eye is forecast to run right up the Florida coast. Serious, TAKE THIS CRAP ELSEWHERE.

Hasn’t hit land you joke when it will it will be weaker.

My point is it’s not going to hit at 140mph winds.
