Hurricane Matthew Live Thread II
NOAA/NHC ^ | October 6 2016 | NOAA/NHC

Posted on 10/06/2016 4:10:09 AM PDT by NautiNurse

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.

I hate to say it, but I think the death toll in Haiti will be in the thousands as they reach the currently impassible areas.

Trump’s statement is refreshingly adult.

Death toll in Haiti, 264.

Those poor people. Devastated in the 2010 earthquake, rolled by the Clintons, and now hit by a hurricane.

‘Any’ serious weather is always going to hit Haiti hard...it’s always in one form of crisis or another.....it’s a money maker for agencies and others.

The Clintons caused more damage than the earthquakes and hurricanes combined.

So, getting the energy from Gulf Stream...is that apt to keep it more off shore? Any indication you see this may come closer in?

Right front inner eyewall is absolutely parked over Freeport. Must be horrible over there.

I was so relieved to read good news from southern Florida that I didn't even think about the Bahamas. They appear to be getting the full brunt of the hurricane. May God protect their people.

CNN wants people to PANIC!!! If you're stupid to be anywhere near Matthew and you die (like boating, surfing or swimming) I won't feel sorry for you.

My boat is parked in the garage, the family boat was put in dry storage. I'm not boating until Monday.

answer machine picks up....might be busy or power outage....

If a land line, the answer machine likely won't work in a power outage. Circuits and cell towers are very busy tonight.
