I’m thinking these Hurricane Matthew videos are from St Augustine:

You know Hellary is busy writing out another check to Haiti.
She’s Our Gal, ain’t she?
*SPIT*
A lot of Floridians haven’t forgotten Andrew.
I read over 800 in Haiti.
Then up and spake an old Sailòr,
Had sailed to the Spanish Main,
“I pray thee, put into yonder port,
For I fear a hurricane.
He wrapped her warm in his seaman’s coat
Against the stinging blast;
He cut a rope from a broken spar,
And bound her to the mast.
Then the maiden clasped her hands and prayed
That savèd she might be;
And she thought of Christ, who stilled the wave
On the Lake of Galilee.
Such was the wreck of the Hesperus,
In the midnight and the snow!
Christ save us all from a death like this,
On the reef of Norman’s Woe!
POST #41 VIDEOS are of Flagler College St Augustine
Benghazi Hillary:
Twice as deadly as Hurricane Matthew.
And their kids too!
LOL!
One time...in band camp...
Ha ha. Good for the carport camping badge!
I think we need to keep in mind, sooner or later this downplaying of risk mentality will get hundreds of Americans killed when a storm zigs instead of zagging. There was a bit of that with Ike and a lot of it with Katrina (who really needed to die on the Mississippi coast or in Slidell LA from Katrina? It was obvious 24 hours in advance that doom was approaching.)
Also, I can understand that for many, it’s always a question of cost, sure it’s fine to evacuate but how many days or weeks will they keep you from returning home, and what will that cause? So people sometimes roll the dice, sometimes with success, other times not so much.
There will come a day when a storm veers off course in the worst possible place and time. Thus I believe people need to factor in that all these forecasts are probability-based and made with that variation in mind.
Also, anyone reading this in Georgia and South Carolina might want to be cautious about taking it all verbatim. Storm surge is a complicated business, the surge is not all near the eye of a storm. It depends on how the flow of water is constrained by the shore, tidal factors, runoff from flooding rivers and estuaries. I would not bet my life on storm surge underperforming anywhere north of where Matthew is now.
Shep Smith’s freak out probably caused that woman to have a heart attack. Once the wind started blowing hard, her stress level probably shot her blood pressure thru the roof.
When there’s too much fearmongering there is bound to be a deep level at skepticism at some point.
Roofs got ripped from houses, so that’s hard evidence that this has been dangerous so far.
I hope the temperature is low — cool that monster down.
I am just going to say it. This storm was way over hyped. Here is when a storm kills you.1, you are hit by debris or 2. you drown, Not some three step extrapolation and speculation. The lady died because she had a heart attack. It would be rank speculation that she would have even survived . An 82 year old quits breathing? given the total lack of intensity in fact of this storm it seems to me the first responders were not responding at all. Time to move on. It was a fizzler. I hope you stayed to protect your stuff from the looters that will be looking for non attended houses tonight.
A sudden, brief increase in speed of the wind. According to U.S. weather observing practice, gusts are reported when the peak wind speed reaches at least 16 knots and the variation in wind speed between the peaks and lulls is at least 9 knots. The duration of a gust is usually less than 20 seconds.
Without the 'eye' coming on shore, the sustained winds of Matthew, onshore, generally tended to be under 60mph. Trying to maximize the hurricane is probably akin to ABC maximizing Hillary - lots of wind but no substance!
Then the Media can do a Happy Dance, I guess. :(
