People in southeast Florida are still being begged to hurry up and evacuate. The storm surge is expected to be pretty bad. I don't think I'd ever want to live on the beach.

And look at this shit https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-77.26,25.44,717  there's another hurricane out there!  I think they're also saying that Mathew might turn back on Florida.

It almost looks like there's a third one forming closer to Canada.  That's a very cool web site.  You can kind of see the coriolis effect at work in the Atlantic ocean.

It is my favorite angry globularist website! Look down in the lower left corner where it says "earth" you can change it to look at other things.

Neat.  If you select AE as the projection it kind of looks like the flat earth map.  Those winds around the ice wall look furious.

My sister and her family live in Orange Park and they didn't leave. I really wish they had, but they feel safe right now so I'm hoping they are going to be OK. Be safe everyone. This is a big 'un.

Thanks jroa, me too! She's worried about the dog peeing on the carpet ::) Batten down the hatches, folks. Matthew is going to get pretty breezy.

Is it nice carpet? That's expensive to replace.  She gets a pass.

She can still evacuate! If I lived on the east coast I'd be headed to jroa's.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

Alone, I feel like I'd probably bug out at cat 4, but I'm also pretty sympathetic to both the view that I'd rather stay and try to preserve my property and that the media frequently over blows these events.  I have kids, so I'd definitely be out on that account. Hopefully everyone stays safe!

The carpet's OK, I guess. I mean, I wouldn't wish dog pee on anyone's carpet, so yeah I hope the dog is able to control its bladder and the puppy pads work as intended if it comes to that.

She can still evacuate! If I lived on the east coast I'd be headed to jroa's.

They are staying put. Dog and all. *sigh* I told her Tallahassee seems like a really cool place to visit right now.

Just heard about the evacs in the States, stay safe guys, I'd offer to put you up at my place but I'm all the way down in Aus.

No one do anything stupid, anything lost can be found again except for time wasted.

Best wishes and thoughts guys.
Why would that be inciting terrorism?  Lorddave was merely describing a type of shop we have here in the US, a bomb-gun shop.  A shop that sells bomb-guns.

The best wishes worked for me...and I Thank You all!  He turned just enough NE in time to only have a glancing blow without losing power.

Good luck to those up the coast!

Yeah, same here. Just a bit gusty out, and only a little rain.

boydster, hope your sister and her dog are okay!

One of my dogs is terrified of rain, well really terrified of anything that falls from the sky (such as acorns). He shivered under the bed all night.

So I just got a video message and it doesn't look too bad there right now. Rainy, for sure, but didn't look like any trees were about to be uprooted from the wind or anything.

That's good! Tell your sister the Flat Earth Society is worried about her and the pupperoni.  :P

Glad everyone emerged safely!  Thank goodness more wind was generated by the media than the storm!

Looks like I will catch the edge by the time I wake in the morning.  I hope my commute is not too bad.

From what I heard so far, it seems like the coast got slammed pretty hard, but further inland the damaging part sloped off quickly

It really chewed up St. Augustine, but still nothing compared to Haiti's damage.
