    hurricane Matthew

    Well it looks like hurricane Matthew is still heading to my location. Time to take the rigs offline and secure in watertight containers.
    Hope to be back online sun
    If I still have a roof.

    Ditto to what Mumps said. It's a wise person who knows when to do a strategic withdrawal. Be safe.

    My family lives in Cocoa Beach and Ocala. Really hoping it avoids FL.

    Gonna hit FL pretty good near Cocoa Beach. Boca Raton (my hometown) looks like it's gonna get smacked quite hard as well. Wish i still lived there.

    Ocala should be ok. Lots of wind and rain and maybe minor flooding but nothing too serious.

    Re: hurricane Matthew

    I live about 30 miles inland from Cape Canaveral. Looks like that area will be at or near ground zero. I live in the middle unit of a 3 unit townhouse so I'm pretty protected and will be riding out the storm. The worst winds will be from the NE to NW and that is the least exposed area of my home. I'm sure the power will go out but I'll be online till then. Hope everyone in harms way near the coast has evacuated.
    David.

    You'll never know what you're living for until you know what you're willing to die for.

    I was just looking at the models and all run up the coast of Florida and half have it doing a loop and running right back across Florida for a 2nd hit. Let's hope those model are wrong.

    Hope the best for the folks in Florida.

    It's not unusual for everyone to get excited when a storm is predicted and chant "Hurricane party!" (I still do ) but once you're staring down it's throat, it get's hairy. Good luck guys.
