Hurricane Matthew Live Thread II

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.

Haitian’s will never get relief monies.......too many gov officials have their hands on the coffers there and otherwise. Haiti’s like a money laundering nation.....including many of the relief agencies who have been there forever!

I respectfully defer to the NHC:

When a hurricane is forecast to take a track roughly parallel
to a coastline, as Matthew is forecast to do from Florida through
South Carolina, it becomes very difficult to specify impacts at
any one location.  Only a small deviation of the track
to the left of the NHC forecast could bring the core of a major
hurricane onshore within the Hurricane Warning area in Florida and
Georgia.  Modest deviations to the right could keep much of the
hurricane-force winds offshore.  Similarly large variations in
impacts are possible in the Hurricane Watch and warning areas in
northeast Georgia and South Carolina.

Still watching post 552 graphic. @ 9:20 PM, eye about 10-20 miles EAST of projected track.

I thought so too....quite different from the standard we see on the news....

I have seen so many tracking models I don’t know why they are all over that one now for some reason.

“Gov. Scott, thank you for rejecting Hillary request. She was trying to help herself...as usual.”

Watch her get her way in the end. She is already judge shopping.

Everybody is watching the loop, but the first pass at the FL Atlantic coast as a major hurricane is taking priority.

[The Westerner]

Clinton’s do that to anyone they need and use up.

This twitter site (whatever it’s called) was posted earlier on this thread. It is factual, not hysterical, on scene reports from eye of storm:

@weatherboy

Thank you, NN, for allowing us to stay tuned without watching t.v. Fingers crossed that Florida coast survives this next 24 hours without loss of life.

This loop?

Looks like it will come onto land around Titusville/Cape Canaveral early morning.

The rain we’re getting is unbelievable. .wind is picking up...flood warnings across 4 counties..

I'd written off Idiot Dave In FL tying off to Palm Trees then I thought about it:

This is an Andrew palm, still living. I think. If you chained 50' loops into holes drilled into the bases of mature trees, then cut the moorings at the right moment, this idiot could actually live through the surge. And then brag about it.

Winds picking up....see live here.....

Overturned fuel tanker on I-4 in downtown Orlando at Orange Blossom Trail.

Many emergency vehicles on scene.

In response to your earlier Flight Level question.
It’s rather complicated but the short version is that FL 350 would be about 35,000 ft.

If you want to delve into the pressure barometric adjustments and all that here is the wiki link when you have nothing to do someday :-)

Thanks for the hurricane threads, I am in Kansas so all I have to worry about are tornadoes.

Stay safe

Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Clinton campaign’s request to extend the voter registration deadline past next Tuesday: ‘I’m not going to extend it. ... Everybody has had plenty of time to register. I don’t intend to make any changes.’

Good for Gov. Scott! Of course, he'll now be brought under enormous pressure from the Democrat machine, screeching that he's a racist who doesn't want minorities to vote. Hope he'll stand up to it.

Clinton been beating relentlessly on our atty general Pam Bondi. I wouldn’t give her diddley squat.
