Hurricane Matthew is big, bad and just downright scary, with iminent and sustained impacts to U.S. mainland. Florida Governor Rick Scott issued a state of emergency for all of Florida and disaster operations are activated. More than 1.5 million Floridians reside in current evacuation zones. Governor Scott has spoken with utilities across the state to ensure utilities are pre-positioned and there are no unmet needs. Multiple coastal hospitals have been evacuated. Meanwhile, feckless President Barack Hussein Obama is personally monitoring the progress of the storm.

When millibar readings show less than 900, it’s REALLY time get the heck out of there.
I was just watching CNN apparently no one has seen a storm like this in the history of mankind and there will be no survivors on the east coast in Florida.

Map showing major hits since 1851. IIRC this is the one Bastardi drew/posted/tweeted yesterday.
Prayers for those living in the southeast states of Atlantic Coast FL,GA,and the two Carolinas.
Can we please leave the bullsh** like you just posted off this thread? This is a potentially very serious situation for millions of people. Major impacts will probably occur from West Palm Beach to Wilmington, NC.
Hurricane Matthew is an extremely dangerous and deadly storm with the potential for widespread catastrophic property damage and economic impacts. Take some time to research the topic.
“Meanwhile, feckless President Barack Hussein Obama is personally monitoring the progress of the storm.”
Too bad Ray Nagin can’t do live remotes concerning big city evacuations from prison. Haven’t heard from Kathleen Blanco in 11 years either
Knowing him, he is surely formulating a strategy as to how to turn the storm and its aftermath to his and Hillary's political advantage.
Prayers up for all in its path.
Lions and Tigers and Bears! Oh my!

Pressure dropping, down to 938.2, down from 944 last recon run. Not good at all.
Once again, I am reminded why I loathe these threads being posted in breaking news.
Amen.
What is a millibar 900?
Thank-you for your response.
Recon found winds of about 140mph, it’s back up to a Cat 4 now, and it still will be crossing the Gulf Stream, which Hugo used to increase 20mph in strength before landfall in SC.
For us Midwesterners, who have never experienced a hurricane first hand, it’s interesting to note how localized the major impact of a hurricane can be. It’s a different animal.
