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.

My SIL is doing the same thing!
Says she has evacuated every time since 1972 and refuses to leave this time
Thanks for the info, I will check into the pump.
My good buddy whom dodged So Cal earthquakes the first 53 years of his life, moved to Orlando last year. Oh well at least he knows it’s coming, shouldn’t be nearly the hardest hit area.
BOTH boats? an aristocrat, huh? :) good luck.
*sigh*. We’ve tried :(
Take your drivel off of this thread. Now.

Your FIL needs to get out!
how about...no. eat that
No, not really. At the age of 71, getting into the engine room of the 42 Post, is a killer. Thinking ahead, I purchased a 25.5’ Dusky, four years ago. I was supposed to be selling the Post. The wife calls it my Boat Condo.
now I have a lot of looking up to do :)
My prayers for everyone.((((Hugs Only half my hug is working.
Goofed the link.
Go to said link hit the Front key.
Apologies given!
Doesn't look like a safe location. OTOH the storm could stay out to sea or weaken and then he will come back with "told you so". Some people have to left to make their own choices.
Lust bugs, whose guts eat car paint, are another negative. Stay safe, my old home.
Matthew? Didn’t they use to name hurricanes only female names? Oh that’s right, I forgot we live in the politically correct age. Like idiot Tim Kaine last night calling himself Hillarys right hand person as if saying man is offensive.
