The storm poses an imminent threat of tropical storm and/or hurricane conditions to SOME PORTION of the Warning area.

Heed the advice of Local officials. Be careful about rumors, erroneous social media posts and unwarranted speculation.

Major Hurricane Matthew Briefing Situation Overview

...THIS IS NOW A WORST CASE STORM SURGE SCENARIO...

Catastrophic Damage is Anticipated for Coastal Areas.

Major Hurricane Matthew is still expected to move DANGEROUSLY CLOSE the Florida First Coast and Southeast Georgia Coast Friday through Friday night into Saturday with catastrophic impacts expected along and near the coast.

A major hurricane has not impacted this area in 118 years, since October 2nd 1898. There is NO local living memory of the potential of this event. If a direct landfall occurs this will be unlike any hurricane in the modern era. . The western eyewall is expected to move along a portions of the coast with sustained winds 115 to 125 mph and gusts in the most affected areas! Winds will be higher in high rise structures in Downtown Florida possibly strong Category 4 to Category 5 intensity!

Some of the lowest barrier islands will be completely overtopped with large battering wave and life threatening flooding. Barrier islands are likely to breached and it is extremely possible that new inlets will be cut in the worst affected areas.

Please, Please heed the advice of public and emergency management officials. 40 people in New York and New Jersey did not heed these warning during Sandy and died in the storm surge! This will be a MUCH Greater surge than Sandy had along the New Jersey Shore!

Matthew hasn’t (yet) delivered the wind event that the MSM got hysterical about due to the relatively small eye wall that just missed Nassau and has stayed offshore so far - but the storm surge risk for N. FL, GA, and SC is still very high if it keeps hugging the coast like this.

My dad was a builder out west in the post-WWII boom who gave up on it after the regulations ate into his profits. Not just regs. but the *time* spent to gain permissions could be used to make money elsewhere. He explained that the sameness in buildings is caused by these regs. To maintain profitability, developers stick to one paint color and shape. Truly sad esthetically.

ROFL!

You mean that Trump can’t lower the sea levels?

Obama can do that in all fifty seven states.

Thank you for the update.

When roofs blow off, it’s bad.

Evacuations serves in some cases and not in others. An intelligent assessment of your condition will tell you whether to stay or leave. A cool head and knowledgeable preparation will keep you safe.

Love Kentucky. Used to go there quite often. Tennessee and N.C. too. Sounds like you have a beautiful property. Postage stamp living just doesn’t suit some of us. :>)

If it makes a U turn will it mix with Nicole?
Could cancel each other out, or make one HUGE storm.
Either way, Trump or globull warming get blamed.

You do realize that none of this has actually happened yet don't you, or is your ignorance showing on that one.

Skepticism is not ignorance.

From http://www.drroyspencer.com

"This morning it looks like Matthew will probably not make landfall along the northeast coast of Florida. Even if it does, its intensity is forecast to fall below Cat 3 strength this evening. The National Hurricane Center reported at 7 a.m. EDT that Cape Canaveral in the western eyewall of Matthew experienced a wind gust of 107 mph.",

BTW, did your 30 foot wall of water show up or are they still calling for that?

Looks like we all might not die after all.

Sorry Shep.
