Almost to Tallahassee heading to West Palm Beach.

Loaded with supplies.

Been doing this a long time.

Good luck to all of you.

I consider all of you friends.

stormsurf wrote:Really need some opinions. We live in concrete block condo on bottom floor on Palm Beach County line. We have impact glass and solid building. We can either shelter in place or we have the car packed to go to a location about 3 miles inland. However, i just found out that they have no shutters or impact glass. What would people do? Surge isnt really an issue as were 10.3 ft above sea level. Thanks for any info.


3 miles inland makes a big difference in wind strength, but Palm Beach county line is still only in the western weaker side of the storm. Eastern eyewall could wipe you out if you are right on the beach. Roads might be gridlocked for all I know so its a tough decision.

Blah.

This is a good thing for people so they can do last minute preps/supplies. Law Enforcement, Nurses, Drs, Fire Fighters, Utilities, etc... are also working... your point? It's not always about the dollar - There are tons of people working extra in the coming days away from their families. I know quite a few of them, and trust me it ain't cos of a dollar.

Once it passes Andros Island then it will really pick up.

Suffering will be immense. I barely survived this summer in the scrub swamp. Can't imagine what it'll be like without AC.

I've got a good friend who lives on the barrier island at Indialantic. Wisely, she and the family are leaving. However, their "evacuation" is to a relative's house 22 miles south to Roseland (just north of Sebastian). The house is about a mile west of the coastline. Her husband insists they will be fine. How do I convince him otherwise?

Just as a point of reference considering the NWS wind forecasts for Matthew, highest recorded wind gust in Florida during Wilma was about 120 out by Belle Glade

I'm seeing a lot of news stations sharing this visual this morning. Unfortunately, it's causing a lot of people inland to not take this seriously. Many don't realize the way the cone works and that Matthew can just as easily track inland. I'm seeing A LOT of people who are not willing to evacuate manufactured homes because of it.

Here in Jupiter, we are all shuttered up and supplied. Ran out to the beach briefly while it's still okay to go out and the surf, spray, and blowing sand was just as you'd expect. A bunch of kite boarders out too - not my cup of tea! Anyway, watching every wobble to see how close Matthew will get and crossing fingers.

Ask him what they'll do if they spend a week without being able to get out of the driveway and two weeks without power. Does the house have a safe interior room that doesn't have a big tree leaning over it? Plenty of food and water on hand?

They'll be far safer a mile inland than on a barrier island obviously, so at least they're thinking about protecting their lives. But it's the aftermath that people never consider beyond a day or two. I would suggest you take that angle. Say that you are glad they're trying to be safe, but are they aware of how crappy the aftermath can be?

Eyewall is really gaining in height. Can see it layering on Vis.
Wonder if we'll see a stadium effect before landfall.

Still raining in Saint Augustine. Over 4 inches of rain yesterday from the Nor Easter and over 8 for the week. It is absolutely inundated with water. Tree's will uproot en mass when the winds hit. Flooding will be a huge issue as the first bands water will have no where to go.
