Hurricane Matthew Updates

[Terrapin]

Its NOT a slim chance, this has a much much greater chance to hit us now, it will be almost less than 50 miles off the coast

 

oops forgot to mention it hits the panhandle, but praying for ya folks down south to stay safe and dry!

[SportsNut25]

Stay safe everyone.

 

Things are going to get super real starting this afternoon. 

 

I know Matthew could be seen over Fort Lauderdale beach yesterday mid-afternoon (really out bands) and Homestead is starting to get some outer bands right now. 

[SportsNut25]

Hope all the South Florida folks on this board are doing well right now and the non-South Florida folks are well-prepared. 

 

Over 10,000 in South Florida already without power.

Thanks for looking out Columbiahighfan2016.  I'm in Coconut Creek, FL which is North Broward County and about 6-7 miles from the beach.  It is lightly raining and a just a little breezy.  They got us down here again, Columbia....Channel 7 news, Home Depot and Publix are laughing at all of us down here- AGAIN. Now watch the next hurricane that comes will be taken lightly , the media will not pump it up nearly like this one and it will nail us.

 

 

Truth be told we have only had one devastating Hurricane in Broward in the last 15 years that has really affected us IMO.  Only Wilma which actually came from the SW and through the Everglades actually messed us up.  Wilma actually gained strength over the land because the Everglades is humid, flat and the water is very, very warm.  Kind of rare circumstances for a powerful hurricane.  But that was one that was not taken nearly as serious nearly as this Matthew hurricane.  Bottom line is people panic 3-4 days before the storm gets close and it is simply not necessary.  The media is mainly what causes mass hysteria .

 

Keep in mind that my comments above pertain mainly to my opinion of the way it was handled in  SFL (more specifically Broward County),  and I encourage the rest of the state to take all hurricane warnings and watches very seriously.

No one should take it lightly, the one time you take it lightly it ends up getting you

 

Just ask New Orleans

 

They had several near misses and then they got Katrina and it lead to one of the worse hurricanes in U.S. history

Down here we got the Islands off the coast which can bounce the hurricanes around and trip up the trajectory a bit.  I'm hearing it is going to hit directly around Jupiter area..just north of Palm Beach Beach County.

[Floridatech]

Potentially making landfall in Vero or Melbourne

That around Vero?

[DisabledAccount]

After looking at current track again it looks like it gonna hit Vero

A little south of Vero.  I think it hits in between Fort Pierce and Jupiter possibly.  Vero is definitely going to get hit hard though.
