Hurricane Matthew is big, bad and just downright scary, with iminent and sustained impacts to U.S. mainland. Florida Governor Rick Scott issued a state of emergency for all of Florida and disaster operations are activated. More than 1.5 million Floridians reside in current evacuation zones. Governor Scott has spoken with utilities across the state to ensure utilities are pre-positioned and there are no unmet needs. Multiple coastal hospitals have been evacuated. Meanwhile, feckless President Barack Hussein Obama is personally monitoring the progress of the storm.

You’re right, my sister’s place is two blocks off the beach, definately not where you want to be IMHO. But I think that anyone who stays should accept full responsibility for their safety through the storm and not expect any outside help until the most immediate danger passes.
Actually they need to consider staying for up to two weeks...roads will be closed until power returns......plus debre all over......many now without power throughout Florida. So far my family still has power....
Excellent illustrative chart! Thanks.
If Matthew and Nicole merge, they could form Superstorm Tranny.
I’ll go away now...
There ‘s a name for that posted back thread, if that happens......
Grand Bahama Suffers Significant Damage As Matthew Roars Through
NINETY five per cent of the buildings in the Eight Mile Rock and Holmes Rock areas in Grand Bahama received significant damage from Hurricane Matthew on Thursday night and Friday morning, Brenda Colebrooke, the island administrator for West Grand Bahama, said. #"Portions of the homes were blown out and roofs were completely blown off," she told The Tribune shortly before 9am on Friday as authorities began making initial assessments of the damage the category 4 storm caused in Grand Bahama.
#There were, however, no reports of lives lost.
#"We had some very, very high winds," Ms Colebrooke said. "We think we caught 140mph conditions in the west. We had people still stuck in the west end area, reaching out for help. Right now we're trying to clear roads to make them passable. Our team has not reported back yet though."
I guess we’re assuming the loop is carved in stone, now....
The NHC site has been crashing. Otherwise, they might have new links with each statement?
Does seem to point that way doesn’t it.....but we sure won’t know until it happens.....
