Hurricane Matthew began pounding Florida with heavy rain and high winds Thursday night as it moved toward the Southeast coast, a storm officials said could be one of the most powerful ever to strike the region.

More than 2 million people had been urged to flee their homes and at least 60,000 homes and businesses were without power, even before the ferocious Category 4 storm reached landfall.

“I’m going to pray for everybody’s safety,” Florida Gov. Rick Scott warned at a news conference Thursday, who called the storm “a monster.”

"This storm will kill you,” he said.

"This storm will kill you,” he said.

only if you are truly stupid enough to go out in it. some are.

If so ,, your chances of survival go down.

No one has ever died from the effects of a storm inside a house in all of Monroe County in all recorded history.
let that sink in past all the propaganda.

My buddy has a home in Fort Lauderdale. It is hurricane proofed. But he left. What about flooding?

Other than the storm video.. Mark is better known for Shark footage,, He is the guy that swims with hammerheads,, and got bit about a year ago/

got too close to a big rare. his love (of sharks) got the best of him... good scars though.

Mehgan is known.

Yeah , but you do not need smoke signals to tell someone it is storming .

4,001 Days: The Major Hurricane Drought Continues
October 7th, 2016 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.

Also, The Hurricane Center Doesn’t Overestimate…But It Does Over-warn



Today marks 4,001 days since the last major hurricane (Wilma in 2005) made landfall in the United States. A major hurricane (Category 3 to 5) has maximum sustained winds of at least 111 mph, and “landfall” means the center of the hurricane eye crosses the coastline.

This morning it looks like Matthew will probably not make landfall along the northeast coast of Florida. Even if it does, its intensity is forecast to fall below Cat 3 strength this evening. The National Hurricane Center reported at 7 a.m. EDT that Cape Canaveral in the western eyewall of Matthew experienced a wind gust of 107 mph.

While coastal residents grow weary of “false alarms” when it comes to hurricane warnings, the National Weather Service has little choice when it comes to warning of severe weather events like tornadoes and hurricanes. Because of forecast uncertainty, the other option (under-warning) would inevitably lead to a catastrophic event that was not warned.

This would be unacceptable to the public. Most of us who live in “tornado alley” have experienced dozens if not hundreds of tornado warnings without ever seeing an actual tornado. I would wager that hurricane conditions are, on average, experienced a small fraction of the time that hurricane warnings are issued for any given location.

Another issue that is not new is the concern that the “maximum sustained winds” reported for hurricanes are overestimated. I doubt this is the case. But there is a very real problem that the area of maximum winds usually covers an extremely small portion of the hurricane. As a result, seldom does an actual anemometer (wind measuring device) on a tower measure anything close to what is reported as the maximum sustained winds. This is because there aren’t many anemometers with good exposure and the chances of the small patch of highest winds hitting an instrumented tower are pretty small.

It also raises the legitimate question of whether maximum sustained winds should be focused on so much when hurricane intensity is reported. Media hype also exaggerates the problem.

Even if the maximum sustained wind estimate was totally accurate, the area affected by it is typically quite small, yet most of the warned population is under the impression they, personally, are going to experience such extreme conditions.

Fox News anchor Shep Smith says of Hurricane Matthew: 'Your kids will die'

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...w-your-kids-w/

A Fox News anchor made startling predictions about the destruction Hurricane Matthew may cause as it continues along the east coast of America.

Popular presenter Shep Smith used strong words to implore Florida residents to evacuate before disaster strikes.

He said: "This moves 20 miles to the west, and you and everyone you know are dead — all of you — because you can't survive it.

"It's not possible unless you're very, very lucky. And your kids die, too."

Drudge Report’s playing down and politicizing of Hurricane Matthew was ‘deplorable’

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...icane-matthew/

By Jason Samenow

October 6 at 10:19 PM 
Late Thursday afternoon, monstrous Hurricane Matthew was just hours away from a likely devastating impact with Florida. It was a time when meteorologists, emergency managers and politicians of all persuasions were joining to deliver a simple, clear message in the spirit of keeping people safe:

Take this storm seriously, and prepare.

Yet the popular Drudge Report website, visited by a massive audience, including vulnerable Floridians, was casting doubt on the severity of the Category 4 storm. In big, bold all-capital letters, it said the storm was “ragged” and suggested it could be fizzling. It made this proclamation at the same time the National Hurricane Center was calling for “potentially disastrous impacts” in Florida.

Talked to family this morning in Palm Beach and they are fine. They also had electricity all night too. No flooding, no damage, just scared to death by how the media hyped this.

And there will be absolutely 0 accountability for crap like that.

I'll chalk it up to a media drill.
