Wow, I can't imagine how bad it would have been if he actually did go fully inland and the coast was exposed to that wicked northeast quadrant.

Matthew has gotten closer to shore since last night.

Inside of the eye is only 5 miles offshore.

It has indeed come closer. I would say that it is within as close as only being within as close within 10 miles off shore and the the case can be made the western eyewall is at New Smyrna Beach right now.

[terstorm1012]

have there been any reports from Freeport? I read on another forum (wunderground) there's been absolutely no contact. I figured people here might have better sources.

[tolakram]

Radar estimated precip is really piling up.

[drezee]

Hey Daytona...you are not off the hook, the angular momentum looks like you are going to get into the eyewall. Batten down the hatches...

[SEASON_CANCELED]

Just saw denis phillips say tens of people reportedly trying to call for help in the ormund beach area. ceilings on houses are gone and people were exposed to the storm. Blockwalls are starting to fall.

:smh:

Thanks, when my question was echoed back, it opened up fully for some reason.

[ConvergenceZone]

I know it's been said already, but man this would have been so much worse if this would have been closer to the coast. We really lucked out compared to how bad it could have been

[EquusStorm]

I honestly can't feel synpathy for anyone right along the coast in the clear danger zone who refused to evacuate in the face of a storm predicted to be as dangerous as this and then call for help when, surprise, the storm causes mayhem. But I do feel bad for emergency managers who have to respond to people not smart enough to get out of town...

We are ready and waiting here in Charleston. The storm surge is what everyone is most worried about. I'm about 15 miles from the shoreline so I'm sure at best I will see tropical storm winds, especially if the storm continues to weaken as it moves north. Still not sure if we will see a landfall before Matthew takes the northeast turn. We are in nowcast mode.

There are reports and warnings of a potential 11 ft storm surge into Jacksonville. Has anyone else heard this yet?

the forecast is for 7-11 feet, depending on the tide and track of the hurricane.

Good info for those in Hampton Roads and Obx. Storm has been trending closer to us and mets are finally starting to take note. Let's keep an eye on this.

"This was the track from this morning, but the models have been trending more northward. They take it a little closer to Hatteras by Sunday. So I think the track will shift a little northward later today. This does have some impacts on our forecast. The wind shouldn’t be bad here on Saturday. However, the wind will probably be pretty strong across the region by Sunday morning. I think we could see some gusts above 60mph down towards Hatteras. Here is the wind forecast for that time."

On my way back into Port Saint Lucie I saw a few small trees uprooted and leaning, lots of loose brances, a few shredded billboards on the Turnpike. My house still has power though!

With that being said, it's looking like Melbourne-north is under the gun...Jacksonville, brace yourselves

[Stangfriik]

Just got out highest gust by far. Small branches covering the backyard. The street is littered with palm branches. A smaller branch on a van across the street

We are 2 blocks east of river by new

Yeah I have been closely monitoring this. Yes storm surge projection in Jax is expected to be from 7-11 feet. Especially worried about that surfe in the St. Johns River and its tributaries.

I have alot of friends and family in Palm Coast that are posting pictures of the salt water canals already up to the tops of the seawalls.

And the bend back north slowly continues..
