So far this storm is a big nothing.

I think about 50 mph steady winds somewhere SE of Melbourne now. But the eyewall is still well offshore and the winds will be dramatically higher there. I think everyone from Melbourne south can ignore the hurricane warnings now, winds will be offshore and diminishing.

I vaguely noticed earlier that people saw winds much lower than was reported. Is it possible that the radar feed was tweaked?

[Mr. Jeeves]

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.
