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.

Chocolate is a necessary staple now.
Yes, m’dear, I see that now. Stocked up mostly..couple things tomorrow .
Let’s see landfall possible 10/9 in the Carolinas to NY harbor...wait a minute what was going on 4 years ago with a certain storm named Sandy...just 3 weeks before the election......!!!!??
I’m leaning toward dark chocolate w/ caramel. You?
Haah! Didn’t we go through a malted milk ball stage? I think that was the year of Katrina?
I love dark chocolate with caramel! And my old stand-by, Reese’s cups.
We’ve been doing this for years, NN:) And you have faithfully kept the FR hurricane threads throughout it all.
Guen! Sorry I didn’t reply ..got caught up today doing errands.
Well girl, we made it through all the others, we’ll do it again.After Charlie we had no power for 10 days. Ugh. But if they say evacuate...you go! Once you’ve stayed in a bad one it convinces you..
Yeah they will need it.
What happens is that rain all runs down form the mountains at 5,000 feet and all drains down into Port au Prince and creates really bad flooding.
had to be with that barometer read.
Looks like 27.82 which is really down there.
I’m heading to my daughter’s home in Orlando...
....taking chocolate!
I don’t care what anyone says Gov.Rick Scott is one of the greatest Governors we have ever had. I got to meet him again and hear him speak for 20 minutes a few weeks ago.He likes the Keys.He’s a great guy.
I’ve always had the impression Gov. Scott (businessman) is a busy doer, rather than a slick talker. He gets the job done without fanfare and hoopla. Scott resides in So. FL—Naples, yes?
Good Mama:)
I live 10 minutes from downtown Orlando...we’ll see how it goes!
I just ache for Haiti. They’ve had such a rugged road. This will be awful for them. We have no idea.
Actually, I’m starting to panic.
I’m wondering if Orlando is far enough?????
The more I read......the more visuals I see......
...having gone through 4 hurricanes in 2004..........
This is beginning to sound real!
He’s definitely a doer. Pays attention, listens. Met him briefly here after the terrorist shootings (hospital where I work) and found him focused, not like a politician.
