slowrollwv Posted October 5, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 5, 2016 I hope all of our members down south stay safe when this one comes to shore. Looks like it could get ruff on folks in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted October 5, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 5, 2016 I ran into a couple of businesses that have already closed so the employees could go home to prep for this one. It looks like it going to a nasty one, not just for Florida but for the whole eastern seaboard. Good luck and follow the recommendations for your local.

M61A1MECH Posted October 5, 2016 Share #5 Posted October 5, 2016 Stay safe and on high ground all ! Not much high ground here in Florida, we are abut 3.5 miles as the crow flies from the Atlantic, but lots of stuff between there and us to buffet the winds down. The storm at last check the eye was going to be about 10 to 20 miles off shore, so should be interesting. I have all the loose stuff stowed but have not decided yet if I am going to put the shutters on the windows or not. There is time in the morning.

Condor Posted October 6, 2016 Share #6 Posted October 6, 2016 I have an older cousin in Port St Lucie who's hunkering down and riding this one out. Told her to come out to CA and take a vacation, but she's pretty head strong. Kinda like Judge Judy... for those that watch Fox News... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BratmanXj Posted October 6, 2016 Share #11 Posted October 6, 2016 Got a really good friend in Bradenton,, just spoke with him.. Heading to Bradenton on Saturday to see my Aunt & Uncle, so far they say they're fine. My mom's staying down for a few extra days and heading to the Orlando area to see some old friends. Hopefully this puppy spins back out into the Atlantic quickly and doesn't do to much damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted October 7, 2016 Share #12 Posted October 7, 2016 11 oclock news on now. Saying the storm is expected to be a bit more east than forecast about 8. Which is good as will keep winds more off shore. I got things picked up around yard so done about all I can do. They say we should expect 50-70 mph winds here where I am.

Midrsv Posted October 7, 2016 Share #14 Posted October 7, 2016 We've got a winter house on Hutchinson Island. Hope it's still there tomorrow. The last I checked the eye is still about 65 miles out to sea so it's just on the fringe of hurricane force winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted October 7, 2016 Share #15 Posted October 7, 2016 Got a son babysitting convicts in lower Georgia. They called him out early this morning probally for the duration of the thing. He gats a call-out anytime they get their panties wadded up. He shoots and acts like that old man up north could be a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1MECH Posted October 7, 2016 Share #16 Posted October 7, 2016 Most of the storm has passed us, now we are getting the backside winds, still pretty high gusts from time to time. Got some limbs down with one laying on the roof and gutter. Tuff Tom should be in the clear , hope he faired well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayer Posted October 7, 2016 Share #17 Posted October 7, 2016 Well my mother was mandatorially evacuated from Hilton Head on Wednesday. She came north with her traveling companion to Byron, Ga near Macon. As soon as I was thinking she was safe, I get a call from her traveling companion yesterday morning telling me that she has fallen in the lobby of the hotel and has broken her hip. Now I'm at the hospital in Macon waiting for her to go into surgery for a hip replacement. Just goes to show you, if it ain't one DANG thing it's another DANG thing. I'm still worried about my brother in law who is a I'M GONNA STICK IT OUT COME HELL OR HIGH WATER sort of guy who is still down there in Bluffton, SC. Hope it turns out to be neather.

Midrsv Posted October 7, 2016 Share #18 Posted October 7, 2016 We dodged a bullet last. The storm stayed 60 miles offshore as it passed Jensen Beach. We only had 70 mph winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted October 7, 2016 Share #20 Posted October 7, 2016 Best wishes for your mom Bob. The weatherman just said that Mathew is going to hang a right and turn a 360 for round 2 next week. BUT The weatherman also said that this cold front we have here right now that is dropping the temps here into the 30s will head on down and blow up the hurricane by sucking all of the heat energy out of it. Round 2 should be just a bit of rain maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayer Posted October 8, 2016 Share #21 Posted October 8, 2016 Mom's surgery went well and she was resting comfortably being her regular PITA self when I left the hospital. Now worrying about brother in law who is still in Bluffton bracing for the worst. Looks like he may get it depending on which way the worm will turn.

Dragonslayer Posted October 8, 2016 Share #22 Posted October 8, 2016 Just talked to brother in law.he is safe with a lot of tree damage in the neighborhood. None on his house. No flooding where he is. Clean up to follow and waiting for roads to get cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tufftom4 Posted October 8, 2016 Share #23 Posted October 8, 2016 I only lost 3 panels of my back fence but got a lot of stuff in the pool but I never lost power, friends down the road still have no power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted October 8, 2016 Share #24 Posted October 8, 2016 3:10 PM Saturday in Wilmington NC on the coast. The eye of the storm is over my home at this time but the wind and rain from the storm passed mostly to our west dumping a lot of rain. I'm sure there will be lots of flooding in some places. The wind never got above about 40mph at my location. Got a lot of pine tree debris in the yard but got off lucky. I keep threatening to cut down all 9 of my pine trees so they can't fall on the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted October 9, 2016 Share #25 Posted October 9, 2016 We are supozed to spend a couple days in Savannah Fri and Sat coming up. But last we heard they dont have power and looked like a lot of damage. River street was flooded etc. So have contacted our host for the place we have rented to see what the status is. If its a no go, and with 95 being shut down over that way we may have to look at alternate route home from our NC trip. Trip up was windy all the way out of Florida.
