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.

Shep Smith having an EPIC melt down on Fox!

Says if it moves 20 miles west “you and your children are all going to die!”

[glock rocks]

Best of luck to all of you there; may God bless and watch over you.

Shep is such a Drama Queen, and I mean that in the most literal way.

“Shep Smith having an EPIC melt down on Fox!”

I wish he were doing a live report from the beach

[rodguy911]

Thanks very much hope you are the in safe mode as well.

I’m here in the Ft. Lauderdale area and all we have is a brisk (and wet) breeze. No heavy winds or even wind gusts.

[spacejunkie2001]

I have a condo under contract in New smyrna Beach (just south of Daytona). I have no clue how this will or should shake out.

Nerve racking....

[Mears]

That storm surge sounds dreadful——stay safe and all FReepers will be praying for you all.

Thanks very much hope you are the in safe mode as well.

Oh yes, I'm just watching from afar--Colorado--and praying for the safety of all of you in the path of the storm.

[PJ-Comix]

I'm in Delray Beach, so right in line for a direct hit.

That won't be happening. Hurricane eye won't get within 30 miles of you.

Gov. Scott press conference

Pam Bondi was on Cavuto right after Joe Bastardi earlier. She was nearly begging people to evac, and promised to investigate and prosecute scalpers during the state of emergency, especially hotels, gas stations and grocers.

.....I’ll be honest: I’ve been doing this professionally for 29 years (mostly focused on tropical meteorology) and I’ve been into watching hurricanes for almost 40...and this is a very unusual storm. He idea that a 4 could track up most of the FL east coast is crazy......

...................

Thank you for making my point

Hi there glock!! Good to ‘see’ you. You moved to Colorado? (Great place, if so; I had lived there for near a dozen years.) Been trying to get some info on this storm—I’ve got some friends who live out in Florida. Looks like they’re probably going to be okay—north of Clearwater area.

[caww]

I saw 6 to 9 ft surge for Jacksonville

[nicmarlo]

I’ll be keeping you in my prayers—that nothing severe happens with ya’ll, pj

[caww]

Shep Smith is always having melt downs....terrible reporting....he’s like a girl afraid of her own shadow!

[tutstar]

Thank you! 😀

[nicmarlo]

He’s a drama queen.
