Anomaly Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) In Tampa, west coast, we should be fine. People in flood zones or a few miles from the east coast should get out. Most will so it's not horribly dangerous unless you're an idiot. We will see how it goes tonight Reports are people evacuated responsibly. It's the cleanup and recovery that is the difficulty. Florida is very good about managing that. We learned our lessons from Andrew in 1992 and honed our plans in 02 and 04 with multiple hurricanes. (Jeb Bush did a great job as governor). Being in the traffic signal industry, this is a $timulus $torm for us. Edited October 6, 2016 by Anomaly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makarioi Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Yup, North or Orlando. So far, just a lot of rain bands but I understand from our meteorologists, tonight into the AM will be the worst. From tomorrow morning to Saturday morning, my county is under mandatory curfew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I don't miss worrying about evacuating. What scares me about this one is that it's going to go back to sea then loop back. They gain strength over water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makarioi Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 It's strong and moving very slowly up our coastline. That ought to be a mess and I hope all that were told to evacuate, mandatory or voluntarily did. The 3 we had in 2004 were strong but moved quickly and they did their share of damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominicansoul Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Papist, I've been worried about you! Good to see you here on the forum. So, you had to evacuate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am far enough inland in NC. And doesn't matter, the hurricane refused to hit NC in protest of HB2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomaly Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I was just in Bryson City, NC! Beautiful state. It looks like Matthew has stayed far enough offshore to limit serious damage beyond immediate coastal area. Let's hope it continues to stay offshore.

Indeed beautiful. And a great time of year to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archaeology cat Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I'm in NE FL, but wasn't in an evacuation zone. Where I am, it wasn't as bad as going through Frances in 2004. The beach is another story. And the shrine in St Augustine was flooded (all of St Aug was hit hard, from the looks of it). The Bishop is still planning on celebrating Mass at the shrine for Our Lady of La Leche, so it must not have been too horrible there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
