FRIDAY 8:00 a.m. Hurricane Matthew now at Titusville (horizontal from Orlando) 140 miles from Jacksonville. My daughter in Orlando lost internet.. her lights have flickered but others folks in area have lost electricity out. Folks in Brevard County that refused to evacuate are asking to be rescued now: roofs blew off!
Hurricane Matthew decreased to Cat 3 & has wobbled 100 miles off-shore. Eye has enlarged expect to reach Jacksonville at 5:30-10:30. Highest winds winds expected hour between 4-7:Appears to me greatest impact Myrtle Beach & Charleston, NC pm.
Matthew is expected to slowly weaken some more during the next 12 hours or so while the cyclone completes the eyewall replacement
cycle. By 24 hours and beyond, more significant weakening is
expected due to the combination of strong southwesterly vertical
shear increasing to more than 30 kt and entrainment of very dry
mid-level air with humidity values less than 20 percent. The new
intensity forecast closely follows the consensus model IVCN.
Special thanks to the Air Force Reserve and NOAA Hurricane Hunters for their tireless efforts in having already completed more than 90 center or eye fixes.

Thank you for the update.
When roofs blow off, it’s bad.
