Hurricane Matthew

Then you will know the city doesn't drain well, and the beach is essentially a barrier island. Let's say there is massive embellishment, which I don't doubt, even if you cut the predicted surge in half, that's trouble.
The eye is still 250 miles away, with the strongest northern bands between 150-200 miles away, and it's moving 13 mph. Give it another 10 hours or so.
I thought the pressure created by Matthew would push back the rain we got here in Mahaska Co. But I was wrong.
Dammit, who typed "and your kids die, too" on the TelePrompter? How many times do I have to tell you? Anything you type, Shep Smith will read!
Downgraded to a Category 3, not surprisingly as it approaches land and still has organizational issues.
Proof that anyone named Matthew can't keep their **** together.
Should I tell him our head football coach is named Matthew?
I remember seeing people partying on Bourbon Street in New Orleans the night before Katrina, because they didn't think it would be that bad. Good to see stupidity doesn't change.
Looks like Florida's Atlantic coast has been spared the worst of the wind. The eye wall has so far stayed just offshore, keeping the highest winds out to sea. There is still the issue of heavy rain and storm surge, but the fact that the center did not make landfall is definitely good news. Hopefully, it will continue to keep the worst of the wind over open water and not over land.
Last night, TWC was showing the forecast tracks of the various computer models and it looks like a child's finger painting. Nearly every projection line went in an entirely different direction as every other line. Some went off to the northeast, some curled around and back into south Florida, some went all the way down back into the Carribean, and others just ended in the middle of the screen. Very odd stuff that just goes to show how weather forecasting is still not even remotely close to being an exact science.

Well when I vacationed in the Dominican Republic, the local Dominicans we talked to were very open about this. The Dominicans and the Haitians do not get along, they don't like each other. The Dominicans believe that the Haitians acceptance of Voodoo religions is one of the main reasons Haiti is constantly getting hit with natural disasters. Not saying I believe it but the Dominicans we talked to were very open about it.
Makes sense. So the voodoo is even stronger than the Steve Deace shill. Excellent.
NASA's Global Hawk (UAV) has been in the air for nearly 12 hours with 9 hours scheduled left checking out Matthew.

ah yes, because taking a gamble on a cat 4 hurricane sounds like something intelligent people would do.
Already one dead because ambulance couldn't get to them safely. Wonder if that person wishes they had left.
