Stay Safe I googled Fort Pierce and this is where I have you. Get to high ground.

Edit to add: I'm in Sebring

We are watching everything closely. MIL won't leave so we won't leave

By the looks of it, I am directly east of Burnie. On the east coast north of Lake Okeechobee.

Edit to add: Definitely stay safe everyone!!!!

Batten down the hatches for sure!

Hubby just read that if Matthieu moves west a little bit there could be storm surges in the lake because it's so large.

I'm ain't sayin' nothin more until tomorrow . . .

600 miles north and 3000' above sea level now. Took all the readily portable valuables. If this thing really comes up just off shore as a Cat 3 as is currently predicted, everything east of the ICW is going to have to be evacuated:

Be safe everyone!!!

 

[Bea-FL]

Well great! This morning they're saying it will remain a cat 4 all the way up the coast, even through Georgia.

This isn't promising, going from SOE to SOL

We have hurricane shutters in the garage. They are numbered. What those numbers signify is beyond me. The windows themselves are not numbered. No papers..... hmmmm let me check one more place....

Nope, no documentation so far. We'll figure it out.

Might as well share the same post here . . .

YEP - IT'S COMING THIS TIME . . .

Oh Well - Here I thought "Matthew" was just going to do a quick "hello" as he passed "Us" by on his travel Northward - however, it seems he is now definitely intent on visiting "My" area . . .

Thankfully, I've been prepared for any unexpected "visitor" since "Wilma" actually came to visit years ago (maybe even too much "Stuff" for one person) . . . So, the only thing left for "Me" to do today is maybe get a couple of loads of laundry done (might even try to get a few more D batteries), pack a bag to evacuate if I absolutely have to (live on the 2nd floor of a Senior only apartment complex right on the Intercoastal), and then tonight start filling the cleaning pails and even the bathtub with water for washing up/rinsing off "Stuff" . . .

I even have "MY" Best Friends house to go to if "Matthew" starts to cause any real huge problems, the only thing is that they are in the next county just North and he is planning on going there right after he visits here.



NOW - To be very honest, I wish "They" would all just shut-up for a few minutes so we could catch our breath . . .

@Robino1
Open a window and see if anything is written inside of it anywhere

Thinking of all of you...... wishing you safety!!!!!!

 

[grandmato5]

Thinking of all of you and hoping you all stay safe. We're still up north in NY and won't be in FL until Dec but many of our friends are already in FL and busy preparing for the storm. Lake Placid FL is home in the winter

I'm glad I listened to my wife yesterday morning when she said, "Let's go today". We had no traffic problems at all yesterday. Looking at Google Maps with the traffic layer turned on, there's been numerous red sections our route today. I'm guessing it will be worse tomorrow.

 

[Robino1]

Got all the shutters up.

I can't see us evacuating unless something drastic happens.

CAT 4 direct hit is pretty drastic.

Praying for all my friends and family in S FL.

Your link just goes to the top of the thread.

I understand she's in Ft. Pierce, but that could be anything between waterfront and 5 miles away from the water. Big difference.

My bad.. post no.40.

Don't know why it went to top of thread. :Shrug:

May not get flooded.. 130mph wind can cause havoc.
(Just saw the current forecast) it's gonna run along FL shores at cat 4?
