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.

“Remember when he made the visit to flood stricken LA and brought in stuff?”
He will do it again, of course.
But the big question is: Will Hillary? When disaster hit LA all she did was tweet them good luck or something.
According to the press she cleared her schedule and went underground to prepare to face Trump on Sunday.
From the Current Recon Vortex Message:
D. Estimated (by SFMR or visually) Maximum Surface Wind Inbound: 128kts (~ 147.3mph)
Not sure how to break the news here...
Check your results from 2012.
Florida was won by the Rats.
Average sea level atmospheric pressure is 1013.25 millibars
Hillary buying ads on the Weather Channel. Oh that is going to go over big with folks who are about to lose everything but their lives. The woman must be stone deaf to the people.
“You would think that those moving to red states from blue states would leave their blue state thinking at curb of their old homes.”
Correction:

We were driving south on I75 last night and saw scores of utility trucks heading south.
She does not care. She is sure acting like one Marie Antronette, “let them eat cake.”
Sadly does not seem like the case. They bring lib politics with them. Seems true with Californians moving to Colorado to escape the creeping Mexicanization of the state and the socialism that goes with it and New Yorkers moving to Fla. to escape a failed state ruled by a very small geographic area that like Illinois does not represent the rest of the state.
Saw one of those ads. Going after Trump being a nuke-monger. This from the woman who helped bring us the catastrophes in Syria and Libya.
Well it is time to do a gentle reminder that “when in Rome, DO AS THE ROMANS DO.”
That seems right there,IMHO, considering the dropping baro.
Good catch.
We have plans to come to Jacksonville next month from Ohio in order for my youngest daughter to visit some colleges in the area (UNF in Jax and UF in Gainesville). If all goes as planned, my wife and I hope to relocate in the Jax area within the next two years.
LOl would be nice.
Utility company trucks already leaving the Ozarks for FL.
With my tinfoil hat firmly in place, this could be the excuse Barry needs to postpone or cancel the election.
Quoth Rahm Emanuel:
“You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
I have no doubt that Trump will do the right thing in his response. I have no faith at all in Obama.
Florida is surrounded by first class states like Alabama,Georgia,Miss., S.C. They have no problem helping fellow states.Louisiana is probably still struggling from their flooding problems that the Fed. govt. seldom acknowledged.
Wouldn’t that be nice.Problem is “Rome” has turned into NYC in places like Broward and much of Palm Beach counties.
Last night, I saw some chatter that this could strengthen to Cat 5 before landfall. Let’s hope not.
