Hurricane Matthew is big, bad and just downright scary, and we await the long anticipated sharp turn northward. Jamaica is completing final storm preparations. All interests in the Eastern U.S. and Bahamas should be carefully watching the track of Mighty Matthew.
Ripped straight from the NHC Discussion page:
Matthew remains south of a low-to mid-level ridge over
the western Atlantic. The dynamical models forecast this ridge to
weaken over the next 72 hours as a mid- to upper-level trough develops
over the Gulf of Mexico. This evolution should cause Matthew to turn
northwestward after 24 hours and northward by 48-72 hours. The guidance
generally agrees with this scenario. However, there is a spread between
the GFS forecast of landfall in Jamaica and eastern Cuba and the ECMWF
forecast landfall in southwestern Haiti. The guidance becomes more
divergent after 72 hours.

I’m not far from Cocoa Beach.......
......We had a hurricane stall off our coast in ‘79
only a Cat 1
I truly wished we had evacuated when the power of this off shore Cat 1 hit.
It spawned tornadoes, high winds, broken power lines, torn roofs, etc
Federal govt. owns and operates these buoys need i say more?
Barometer is plummeting,but looking good for the keys not for my friends in NC.
Jamacia will be on the clean side of the storm haiti will not they will get hammered.Thanks to the clinton foundation they will have no money or any infrastructure to withstand the storm since the clinton’s stole all their money.
Similarly, Andrew was a small but ferocious storm. I guess winding all that energy up in a small package really causes problems.
Even the best construction shows wear and tear from constant beating by prolonged winds, projectiles and horizontal rain. The flooding from stalled storms is devastating. The best hope for Haiti would be if Matthew picks up forward speed.
"But it is only a weak tropical storm," said by a yahoo from Kansas...
Godspeed to the people of Haiti...
Could get a bit breezy here over the next couple of days. I’ll know Wednesday. Business trip to West Palm.
NHC: Matthew is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 15 to 25 inches across southern Haiti...
My mind remembers the steeple laying on the ground next to the church, but honestly, I am not sure if that is a real memory or my mind playing tricks.
I do know every time we passed it, I would get excited. “There's the church without a steeple!” Didn't take much to entertain me, LOL!
Hazel was devastating. It came in to Durham. No power for a long time.
NHC twitter account said it took a direct hit and survived.
Oh! I didn’t notice the T. 42058 is the one that took a direct hit.
And save them from the Clintons.
Thanks for the report. Great info.
I grew up in west Texas and remember seeing tv reports about Camille and thinking to myself “I will never live in a place where hurricanes can go.”
Here I sit in Florida many years after riding out Hugo in SC. rofl
Never say never.....
It’s hard to compare them because they are dependent on the current weather situation.
He’ll be indoors with a fan machine blowing him all over
They probably have a studio set up to look like an out-of-doors street corner complete with a stop sign bending 90 degrees.
Glad you added “machine” to your description . . . with Ms.Shepherd there is no end of imagination.
Other than similar strength and geographic forecast track, there is really no similarity at all.
