Jacksonville is about to get hit hard followed by the GA and SC coast lines. If you are in any of those areas, please leave.

    Sadly im still here. I live at exit 1 on the ga/fl state line. The waterfront is less then a 5 minutes drive from my house. (about a 10 minute walk) the piers are already flooded and the roads are flooding now. We are on curfew until 6am saturday. Many people tried to leave but had to come back because there is just no places opened. The churches have started opening to families that have no other place to go.

    Hope you stay safe and dry. We had gas stations without gas and stores without water two days ago as far out as Gainesville, so you would have had to drive a way to get to a place far enough away that had room. Many of my friends on farms have taken in friends with horses that lived closer to the coast, and they are all happy to be here.

    My 1/4 tank of gas isnt going to get me very far. Right now no one is allowed to leave their house. The first responders have taken cover. We havent got too bad yet besides the flooding.

    Is Matthew ever going to die?! This passed me in the Southeastern Caribbean on September 28th as a Tropical Depression, became a Tropical Storm and quickly grew into a strong Hurricane Matthew heading West, then North to Jamaica and Haiti. Now it is threatening the Eastern USA. My prayers go out to all who have suffered and those who may yet suffer from this powerful weather system.

    There's another hurricane: Nicole, that's on Matthew's heels & it's currently a category 1 storm. It's expected to push Matthew into Florida again, via a loop but Matthew'll be severely weakened, by then. Nicole's only expected to make landfall in Bermuda, thus far.

    Yes, quite a busy late season for hurricanes this year.
