Wow 27.73 is really getting down there,I wonder how much that will influence wind speed?

Thanx. Matthew is almost parallel with Ft. Lauderdale and it looks like the eye will be at least 50 miles away. On it’s current track, it looks to get no closer than about 30 miles to West Palm Beach. Keep in mind that we are on the “weak” side of the hurricane.

NN is doing a yeoman’s job with these threads! Great way to keep up to date. I’ve got a good friend in Jax I’ll have to call in a bit.

As a truss manufacturer in lower Alabama for 25 years, we shipped many systems into Florida. Over the years, the states standards improved greatly and inspections became incredibly strict. IIRC, trusses for beachfront properties had to be engineered to withstand 150 or 160 mph winds. I pray their diligence helps save homes.Last year when I was doing an exterior remodel (in Colorado) and deciding what kind of material to be used for the soffits I did a web search on the topic and found a paper from the University of Florida. It mentioned the improvements that have been made in Florida construction techniques and said that soffits are one area that (at the time) had room for improvement. They said that when storm winds blow, if a house has metal or vinyl soffits, this will be the first point of failure. So I opted for stuccoed soffits, which had their highest wind rating. (We don't get hurricanes or tornadoes here; but we get thunderstorm outflow winds and downbursts that can be impressive.)

Donald J. Trump statement on Hurricane Matthew: "Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the path of Hurricane Matthew, namely in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, and we encourage everyone to listen to their governors and local emergency officials urging the evacuations of at-risk coastal communities. These warnings are very, very serious if your home is in the path of the hurricane and you are being advised to leave, you need to do so right now. Nothing is more important than the safety of your family. "I would also like to offer my thanks to the law enforcement, first responders and power crews making the necessary preparations for the storm and carrying out their plans to help our communities survive and recover in the aftermath. "I also want to extend my personal condolences to those families in Haiti who lost loved ones as this storm tore through their island. The news reports that over a hundred people are feared dead saddens us all, and the United States should offer our assistance to help our island neighbors. "Please stay safe." Donald J. Trump

Thank you! As a high school dropout who didn’t pay attention to math from grade 7 on, much appreciated.

Not entirely true. Even a 80 mph tornado is carrying a debris field with it. And 80 mph moving in a circle has a shearing or twisting effect, plus an updraft. I live in tornado alley, come on down!

Will the water reach your hospital? I would think it would flood the entire state and reach the Gulf!

I’m doing good. Moved to Louisiana about 4 years ago and went through Hurricane Isaac. That was bad not so much for the wind but because of how slow-moving—practically stationery for awhile. It really caused massive flooding. My street got hit pretty bad but I’m further down the road and away from the ditch and swamp. Lucked out for sure. Relay my good wishes to your friends—I’ve got the entire state in my prayers and I’m sure a great many others are doing the same.

Wow they have big tides up there if that surge happens at high tide could be bad.

This really looks bad, hence my concern and desire to keep track and get more info. Hope you’re hunkered down with enough food/water and other needed supplies.

Can't stand hearing Smith....he presents HIS own version regardless of what's happening and like he's doing so in front of a class of sixth graders!
