Hurricane Matthew
NOAA/NHC ^ | 1 October 2016 | NOAA/NHC

Posted on 10/01/2016 7:00:34 AM PDT by NautiNurse

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 wonder if your sister’s friend is my FIL :). He’s 3 miles north if Sebastian Inlet in A1A and is going to ride it out.

Gas camp stove, pan, Mason Jar, metal funnel and a coffee filter. Makes as good as a Kerig machine.

They have to put her on a drug holiday until right before the debate. That makes the drugs work better without so many side effects.

Heard Clinton is holing up for the rest of the week to prep for debate.

When you look at Clinton's speech schedule posted online (including the dates for fundraisers and debates)...she's only appearing every 4- 5 days throughout Oct.

Her surrogates...Bill, Chelsea, Kaine, Warren, Sanders etc. are carrying practically ALL the weight of her campaign. Stunning...

Just watch the investment though in propane tanks. By law they have a shelf life and or codes change. Propane guy may not fill them in 3 years.
My guy let it go last time on a 20 gl. Probably lady go round on it

Very nice.

Here's a ‘no where near as elegant’ storm surge map covering surge for category 1-5 storms.

Coffee press—yes! Have a big one. Pour a cup, then pour the rest into a thermos. (we also roast our own green coffee beans). Heavenly...

Close...

My sister is about 7 +/- miles (?) north of Sebastian, second community North of the “NewEnglander” restaurant on the same side.

I’ve been down in February the last 7 years. I’m fairly familiar. Fished down at Sebastian Inlet a bunch of times.

I work in construction and have been involved in emergency work, as side from the obvious risk, my concern would be losing A1A, the only road and it taking 5-10 days to get it back up.

Very close! That restaurant used to be a salty dive (15 years ago or so) called The Rusty Anchor or something....owned by my FIL 😊 We love going down. My one daughter just got back a few weeks ago from a visit. This evening she called grandpa to let him know how worried we are that he won't evacuate. ...and she had tears later. He's a stubborn dude and we're just hoping and praying he will be ok.

Watching from far-away Colorado, sending prayers and best wishes to all FReepers in the path of Matthew. May you all emerge unscathed.
