What's up with this hurricane Matthew crap?

I'm in a small town about a half hour away from Jacksonville. We're keeping an eye on things. And binge watching tv shows.

 

Well, they probably have enough material to sort through for a couple of years.

In addition, I'm willing to bet that more than a few right-winger media types will lose it and go ape(*)(*)(*)(*) on a continuous bases during President Hillary's double tenures.

"What?! That (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) is pushing to protect the right to vote! IMPEACH HER!"

We'll probably have to put every far-right person on the "no-fly" list for a year or so at least due to risk of heads exploding. BADOM-DOM

 

It has happened before. The remnants of Hurricane Ivan ended up hitting Pensacola 3 times--the first time as a Cat 3 hurricane, the second time as a strong thunderstorm, the third time as a few clouds.

 

No, it doesn't. It puts their being a chance of going through Orlando, but that's at the edge of the cone. Most likely it's skirting the coast.

There's always somebody.

Creative use of two images. If it was in one color, it would just be gray.

 

My dog is at the vet hopefully enjoying the animal planet while my three cats are hanging out with me.

Miami seems to had luck out this time but as I had a home come apart on me during Andrew within a few hundred yards of my current home my nerves are not in great shape.

In any case good luck to everyone.

 

Creative use of color coding in an infrared image. If color weren't added, you would never have seen the skull.

Yeah, but it wasn't doctored to ADD the skull. Still looks pretty ominous to me. Let's hope that skull is just an early halloween gag, and that Fla gets treats instead of tricks.

 

They can predict oceans rising and all sorts of calamities, but they can't predict the track of a storm 100 miles away.

 

I'm glad I'm not the only seeing evil faces everywhere.

The skull is above Haiti. How many died there?

 

I am like that about tornado warnings. The usually push west and miss my immediate area, but a couple times they did not. Once the path of destruction was a few hundred yards south of my house and once it started just beyond my house. I was home when the first one happened and spent a long time trying to weave my way home when the second one did. I have since moved, but they make me very anxious.

 

Even without the color I would have seen it. Not a skull though, but a very creepy face.

 

Good point. Lets hope we do not see any further.

 

I truly want to see the day when the Warmers are proven correct and man can really change climate. We can't really even change weather.

 

Frozen pizza? Have a generator?

 

There is no such thing as Global Warming. God must be punishing Florida for some sin, real or imagined. LOL

 

I see teeth.

 

Yup in the late 1960's ( Camile did a job on Mississippi in the Biloxi /Gulport area in think 1968 or 69 ) and then again the early 2000's the hurricanes started coming up into the Gulf. When I was a kid in the mid 1950's we got them coming up the East coast and up through Connecticut.

 

I have an RV with a generator and a fridge that runs on LP gas OR electricity.

This is my "2016 Hurricane Preparedness Plan":

At the beginning of hurricane season:
1) Place at least 1 week worth of groceries into RV,
2) Fill tank with fuel.
3) Take family and drive to freakin' MONTANA.

 

Good luck to everyone on the coast. We're about 75 miles inland from the Cape. We're as prepared as we know to be. Ya'll hunker down and have faith. Praying for ya.

 

I don't have to deal with hurricanes but fires have forced me to evacuate. If the waiting and worrying isn't bad enough, seems there are always looters looking to take advantage.

 

I remember the 50s here on LI. We had bad hurricanes and blizzards all the time. I lived in Levittown and every house had a weeping willow tree in the back yard. By the 60s they were all gone

 

Yep, weird Juan did the same.

Hurricane Juan was a large and erratic tropical cyclone that looped twice near the Louisiana coast, causing widespread flooding. It was the tenth named storm of the 1985 Atlantic hurricane season, forming in the central Gulf of Mexico in late October. Juan moved northward after its formation, and was subtropical in nature with its large size. On October 27, the storm became a hurricane, reaching maximum sustained winds of 85 mph (140 km/h). Due to the influence of an upper-level low, Juan looped just off southern Louisiana before making landfall near Morgan City on October 29. Weakening to tropical storm status over land, Juan turned back to the southeast over open waters, crossing the Mississippi River Delta. After turning to the northeast, the storm made its final landfall just west of Pensacola, Florida, late on October 31.

Cheers

 

I hate hurricanes. We rode out both Camille in 1969 and Katrina in 2005 here on the Mississippi Coast. Not fun.

Good luck to everyone on the east coast. Looks like Charleston SC may really get whacked.

 

This hurricane roared through Haiti already and caused vast improvements.

 

Well the storm started, and the eye is veering a bit north of us... unless it changes it's mind. There are power outages so I don't know how long I will have internet.
