Looks like it could be a bad one. Amazingly it could loop around and hit Florida a second time next week!
Anyone within an asses roar, stay safe!
Haiti hasn't even recovered from their earthquake. Billions sloshing around in some hoors bank account probably.
Yeah, some tragedy in Haiti. God help those poor people

Should you not be giving us some anecdote about how you met Hurricane Matthew?
4% more energy in the atmosphere due to the burning of oïl . It is not true according to Fox news. It means bigger storms that do more damage. That is a libtard conspiracy say Fox. Vote Trumptrump
Its trajectory still not clear for Georgia & Carolinas.

Well they are both full of hot air
Still at work here after working through the storm yesterday, we were lucky in South Florida as the storm pushed a little to the east yesterday morning. North Florida is getting hammered this afternoon. I was fearing for the worst yesterday morning prior to coming into work. Haiti as usual got hammered, I hear up to 500 dead. I worked through a Cat 2 (Wilma) 10 years ago and the destruction was terrible, my car moved 5 parking spots due to the wind lifting it, I cannot imagine what a stronger storm is capable of doing. Looking forward to getting home to the family in the morning.

Would everyone not be instructed to stay at home during something like this? Or do you work in emergency services?
Hope you are all safe
What is the story of The Dominican Republic? After all it shares an island with Haiti? How come they are exempt of hurricane destruction?

Haiti is a broken country. The DR has better infrastructure, better building standards and better governance.
France and the US destroyed Haiti economically after Toussaint L'Ouverture had the gall to lead the world's only successful slave revolt.
Haiti is like a sex slave

I'm in the fire service, so it was compulsory for my shift to come into work yesterday.
Where in FL, are you FL/MAYO. East coast or west?

East coast about 10 miles south of West Palm Beach.
Poor poor Haiti.
We were in Hilton Head Island S.C about 3 wks ago at the end of a holiday and one of the tropical storms hit. How lucky we were. I think the island has now been evacuated as likely to come in for a battering.
