Hurricane Matthew

Be safe if you are in his path.  SCG, you know you always have a place to go if you need to bug out. 

Everyone, please be alright. I am here if you need something to converse with.

Thanks jroa! I live on the gulf side, and they are issuing warnings/watches for counties on this side, but I don't expect it'll be bad here. I imagine the power will go out at least once, it doesn't even have to be a bad storm for a tree to knock out the power around here 

I think people in the Carolinas are expecting it to be pretty terrible there. They are evacuating already.  BE SAFE EVERYONE, HEAD FOR JROA'S!

Wait, I live in the Carolinas!   

I thought you lived in Georgia!

I did!  I have lived in NC for about 2 years now. 

I am far enough inland that I don't have to worry, though.

I used to have lots of family all over Georgia, NC, and SC. I think most of them have died or moved back to Florida 

The news showed lots of people evacuating the coast, are you inland?

I will be seeing Matthew close up tomorrow as I am currently writing from the hurricane warning zone.

Thanks for the well wishes and good luck to the other in his path!

I hope you have your hurricane supplies... or are you like most of us and just get a loaf of bread and hope for the best? lol

Didn't prepare for this one much I'm afraid to say.  It should have turned more east like it should have. A good supply of water and that loaf of bread sounds about right!

You are more than welcome as well if you need to bug out.

Thank you, kindly! 

I should be out of the Hurricane Zone, but probably something like 7 or 8 hours from the Georgia/Florida border. 

Hope you giys are ok, stay safe.

Thank you disputeone and jroa it sounds like you will be AOK there from the feeder bands, etc..  If we have to bug out it's just the wife and me.  She is much nicer than me so I would try to follow her example.

How is your mom doing? ??

I've never had to face down a hurricane. It sounds a little unnerving, also awe inspiring. Good luck and stay safe.

Be safe, SCG and Gotham!

Not to make light,  but I grew up hearing stories about "hurricane parties" from my father. I've always wanted to throw one, but I live inconveniently distant from hurricanes.

If I had an obscene amount of money I think I'd build a hurricane proof house on the coast of Florida.  Seeing a hurricane up close must be pretty bad ass.

It's just a really windy thunderstorm.

Most of the damages are always from flooding.

So glad we don't have hurricanes and tornadoes here, yet.

The sea might eat our country though... but oh well.

They went to my sister's house.  She lives pretty far inland.  My parents were 100 meters from the beach.  I hope their condo will be OK.  Thanks for asking. 

Thanks Ski,

Bringing in the lawn chairs and tables, I mean flying projectiles...

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.

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou... ?

I did fill up a five gallon bucket with water, so if the power goes out we can flush the toilets! (I have a private well)

If you pee in the toilet enough times, it will flush.
