      It is humbling seeing this huge storm coming, you know where the storm is and when it is coming, but you don't exactly know where it is going to end up.

          If there was a mandatory evacuation, does that mean that everybody is staying home, or are they already running for their lives?

            We went through a category 2 when we lived in Georgia. Coolest noise I've ever heard.

              @dafyre I would assume that the police are in peoples faces, guns out, making them leave.

              But you know, this is no different than any other day in the south.... so I'm sure there will be people who stay, and then beg and plead for help when the surge is at the second story of their house...

                Welp, flooding is already starting to be an issue and we haven't even seen any rain from Matthew yet. It has been unusually wet here the last week and almost everyday we have seen rain going sideways.

                Here is the result of today's storm and it is still raining...

                  Um is that stop sign normally short, or is that already a diving pool?

                    It is a normal size stop sign.

                      Just add Pontoons to your house and car, and you'll be fine. 8-)

                        @IRJ Normal for NY is 8 or 10 feet, so that thing is that tall, and already there is that much water...

                        . . . you sure you want to stick this one through?

                              Latest track shows the eye will be closest to land where I live. We are in a mandatory evacuation. The experts are saying there is a possibility that out island will be completely under water.

                              If that's not scary enough. Jim cantore checked into a hotel room here 😞

                                  Best of luck with the storm. We were supposed to be headed to Jacksonville for a few days on Thursday. Looks like we'll be postponing until after the storm.

                                      Might had better hitch a ride with him on the way out!

                                            What amazes me is the complacency in my neighborhood now. I am the only one boarding windows. It is unreal, people still have crap in their yard. We picked everything up last night, starting cutting wood and boarding window, packed all the food and water we will need, and clothing.

                                            We still have a bunch to do today. I am at work this morning and I am hoping to leave by noon.
