“emergency officials could not get to them because of the storm’s strong winds.”

It has been widely announced that no Emergency Worker will go out in any wind over 45 mph.

I cry foul — this is what we get from unionized forces.

They got their deaths. Of course its speculation whether the deaths were truly caused by the storm. .. esp. the 80+ year old man.

Yes, the media and the government lie all the time and even a lot of freepers believe the media and government.

Only TWO dead that appeared to be on their way out anyway, storm or not, and only 300 deaths in Haiti.

The Enemy Media is greatly saddened and not having a very good week, body-count wise!

Jerks.

The poor old woman probably died from a heart attack after watching Shemp Smith saying everyone on the east coast will be dead in 24 hours

Some posters on that thread probably ganged up on you and complained to the moderators. They were attacking me too and if I would have kept it up fighting them then they might have gotten me on there too

Sounds like those two might have died anyway, unnoticed if it wasn't for Matthew.
They died *in* the storm, not killed *by* the storm.
Either way, R.I.P.

First responders and emergency crews shouldn’t have to risk their lives for idiots who decided to ride it out after being warned to get out.

According to this graphic from the National Hurricane Center, Florida has seen hurricane force winds from Vero Beach to St. Augustine Beach. In reality, no coastal stations have reported hurricane force winds at all.

Likely they caused their own deaths by working themselves up into a panic.

A) The “dirty” side of the storm (right side) will remain out to sea. This contains the most destructive winds and precipitation.

2) The eye appears to be remaining out over the ocean. The storm surge should be very limited, as this hugs the eye.

These two deaths were not caused by the hurricane.

The coroners' reports should state causes of death as "suicides", i.e., willful failure to get out of Dodge before sunset.
