Hurricane Matthew has taken a track closer to Florida,
and is expected to be at cat 4 when it is close to the
north east Florida coast, and goes north along South
Carolina, but is THEN expected to rapidly weaken and
take a sharp right hand turn out into the Atlantic.

I sure hope the latest prediction is right. I was expecting a close
landfall and losing electricity for several days. That sucks. As of this
morning, prediction is very different.

Virginia Beach here.

I'm hoping the new models are closer to reality.

Hurricanes are classic chaos.

Official line is have 3 days of supplies.

SMART people have at LEAST a week, and more is better.

And that includes food, batteries and flashlights,
AND A WAY TO COOK. You can survive on uncooked food,
but you'll be MUCH happier if you have a way to cook.
And that means a barbecue or similar, AND FUEL.
NOT anything electric, unless you also have a generator.

I am no meteorologist, duh, but I've watched, worrying about Jill.
My conclusion was that the North Carolina coastline juts out so far
that the hurricane is pushed out away from the South Carolina coast.
Makes more of a straight line from Florida to North Carolina.

NBC mentioned a chance of it wrapping around for a Second path into FL, like a loop path.

Don't ask me. There are ruins all around the lowcountry that date back
300 years or more that survived these storms.

Having said that, Hurricane Matthew seems to be moving very slowly.
Likely losing strength.

Fort Lauderdale schools weren't even closed today.

Yes, and the Sun might go nova tomorrow as well.

It has been moving slowly since the birth. That's what a lot of the
hubbub is about. Slow movement gives it a chance to dump feet of
water instead of inches. I believe that it has generally been moving
at 6 mph.

Virginia Beach, population 438,415. That would make it the 3rd city in
the Netherlands, but this is the first time I hear of it.

Virginia Beach is the 39th largest city in the U.S.
