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.
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.
Hi all from rainy Tampa Bay...
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?
Tried reaching family members in Jacksonville, answer machine picks up....might be busy or power outage....band going through there so lots of rain...
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.
My boat is parked in the garage, the family boat was put in dry storage. I'm not boating until Monday.
Wow. Those poor people have suffered tremendously.
I miss you, caww.. so much.

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