The official thread wasn't enough for you? Lol

Over exaggeration by weather experts, saying catastrophic storm, a 100 or once in a century storm

You realize it hasn't even hit yet, right? Lol
My satellite signal just dropped for about 30 seconds. Time to hunker down.

But if you saw the coverage of the Florida cities it past, it didn't look that bad as the weatherman, governor Scott, made it out to be.
Took 5 hours to drive 120 miles last night.
Power outage. Garbage can blown into the side of my fence (no damage).
I currently have 33% battery on my phone. Gonna have to charge it in my truck.
The lid of my garbage can blew open. It was pretty scary.

Monday morning quarterbacking is easy. Looking at models of a compact, intense storm with life-threatening implications and guessing where it's headed is not. While plenty like you will write it off as Deegan fishing for ratings by making it a doomsday scenario, the reality is that Matthew is likely to be about 60 miles offshore as it passes-about 30 miles outside of "doomsday scenario" territory.
842 people are thought to have been killed in Haiti. I'm sure that number will rise in the coming days.

All the people that die in Haiti any time anything happens, it's amazing in that anyone is left in that country at all!!

I thought I'd get lucky as far as power, but things could be worse.
If there's a tree next to me, it's going down. I'd be surprised to see any tree still standing in my area once this is over

Kinda like big accidents in China. The sheer death toll always blows me away.
