Gov. Rick Scott Issues State of Emergency For All Counties in Florida Ahead of Hurricane Matthew
NBCMiami ^ | 10/3/16

Posted on 10/03/2016 2:46:27 PM PDT by Lera

As Hurricane Matthew churns across the Caribbean, Florida officials are preparing in the event the category 4 storm moves closer toward the Sunshine State.

While visiting the City of Hialeah Emergency Operations Center Monday, Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency for all counties in Florida

Scott signed the executive order to ensure counties have resources for evacuations and shelters.

"If Hurricane Matthew directly impacts Florida, there could be massive destruction which we haven't seen since Hurricane Andrew devastated Miami-Dade County in 1992," said Scott.

The governor also said the National Guard is standing by if needed. He added that officials are taking steps to move additional fuel to the state's east coast.

The eye of the approaching Category 4 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph as of the 2 p.m. advisory, was expected to pass to the east of Jamaica and then approach the southwestern tip of Haiti late Monday or early Tuesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said.

Keep in mind that is based on the latest updates, and of course that can change. Used to be in that area for more than 20 yrs. Moved further north (to the south LOL) about 15 years ago.

That hurricane in Miami was in the bible?

Must be the new chapter :)

Yeah I’m Christian but we didn’t get a hurricane because our president turned against Israel.

That’s pat Robertson stuff.

Thanks. You’re right, you don’t know it won’t land until it passes.

Just got back from a midnight run to Walmart just in case. Surprisingly few shoppers. That said, ALL the water was gone.

Hugging the coast is going to push a lot of water ahead of it and then push that elevated level onto land - find high ground. Prayers for those in the path.

Looks like Nags Head and also Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach (where I was supposed to go this weekend) are going to be off limits, as you say.

I am in Central NC. Hurricane Fran came directly over my area and devastated it. I just hope I don’t have to evacuate further West.

Dang. Bad timing for me. Dad died last year. He and Mom have a condo in Sarasota, FL. Mom too sad to stay down there so stayed with us for most of 2016. We rented condo in Sarasota to snowbirds. Now USAA called and said, "since she didn't stay down there for 6 mos as a resident, AND we rented it out, its not the primary insurance AND has no hail/wind policy.

Gotta get on that today! Who do you FL Freepers use for hurricane insurance. We are on 5th floor out of surge area.

All we know as a FACT right now is Genesis 12:3 is in the bible, and nations ignore His warnings at there own peril.

http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/11-shocking-proofs-disaster-strikes-america-mistreats-israel/

(You are correct in saying P Robertson is too cooky/false teaching to be believed...But that’s a whole different topic. So are the (false) Globull warning alarmists who will most likely somehow blame the hurricane on that. :))

Pray for everyone in the path of this storm.

There is a direct correlation of natural disasters between to two things..
the touching of Israel’s land covenant
the promotion of homosexuality

(Genesis 12:2) And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

(Genesis 12:3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

(Obadiah 1:15) For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

The first President Bush - his vacation home was destroyed by a storm that formed out of no where the day he gave a speech at the Madrid peace conference where he promoted the dividing of Israel’s land

3-Story Waves Heavily Damage Bush Vacation Compound in Southern Maine
http://www.nytimes.com/1991/11/01/us/3-story-waves-heavily-damage-bush-vacation-compound-in-southern-maine.html

Following year the Madrid Peace conference moved to Washington with in hours of their meeting to divide Israel hurricane Andrew destroys Miami.

Katrina - destroyed New Orleans during a gay pride event at the time we forced Israel to pull out of Gaza and hand it to the terrorist .

Did God send Katrina as judgment for Gaza? http://www.wnd.com/2005/09/32196/#XvMO8MgSSeO1y2Zt.99

John McTernan has more than 50 instances of America trying to get Israel to give land to the Palestinians and natural disasters on American soil.(hurricanes , huge tornados, earthquakes)
