Thank you sir.....lots of people panicking...long lines for gas...no water in supermarkets.....no beer....NO BEEEEER WAIT .......I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!
You can blame that on my brother-in-law. He lives in Melbourne and started hourding all the beer he could find. Goofball says he's going to stay home and ride it out. My wife is not happy.
It looks like it's going to make a direct hit right here. The next 24 hours will tell

yeap!
We will be thinking about and praying for all of our Florida east coast brothers. Funinthesun, my brother lives in Ormond Beach and he boarded up his house and went to stay with family in Tampa. Looks like a CAT 4 storm in Daytona. Wishing you the best, and keep posting messages so we all know you are ok. CAT 4 is a bad ass storm and I think it is due to hit later tonight, or tomorrow. Still time to get out of town.
Latest track is showing FL taking a double hit as the storm heads up the coast, goes out to sea CW, then crossing over south FL back into the Gulf of Mexico.
If that's you, batten down the hatches.
Part of our group is riding it out in a high rise beachfront condo in Daytona Beach Shores. They think it's safer there than possibly getting stranded in traffic on the road out of town. I hope they are right. We are waiting on a couple from Syracuse New York they have decided to avoid the coastal states and swing by our place on the way down. I'll post updates as I get them. DAMN YOU MATTHEW !!! 
Be safe down there guys. I hope you all come through unscathed with no property damage. I hope. They had to pick a common name, Matthew. I swear I am not responsible. 
My Dad had 2 friends that tried to ride out Hurricane Camille in New Orleans in a high rise in 1969. They have not been seen or heard from since. GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THE COAST IF YOU CANT GET OUT OF STATE PLEASE!!!
Here it comes!
My buddy Rob's house in Spruce Creek ... he needed 27 sheets of plywood but he was only able to buy 12. They were sold out everywhere he went.
Good luck Rob and stay safe. I wish I was there to help
Notice our weather man is very expressive....he's like " You guy better grab your balls for this one".
Thinking of and praying for all of you in Matthew's path!! Those not evacuating really worry me!
Not a funny situation, but @Nemesis1701 that literally made me laugh out loud... 
Yeah I know it's not funny I guess it's my way of not totally freaking out. Been thru many of these creatures in the past. I've erased them from memory. Seen so much damage and loss of life because of these beasts when TDY that my mind refuses to remember. But the SS brotherhood in FL is strong and we are a post or phone call away.
Thanks all for prayers and good wishes.

My biggest concern is when we lose the cell towers to heavy traffic or wind damage and the internet will most likely go dark shortly there after. I don't own a CB radio anymore... 
Chief of Police Flagler County describes Matthew as " a 500 mile wide freight train and it's off its tracks" also saying "it will change the our coastal landscape forever".
I'm sorry @Bill Martin but my dislike just canceled your like out but I know what you meant... This is gonna get ugly. 
For those of you that this is your first time going through a storm of this magnitude brace yourself for a LONG recovery time frame. If you have evacuated - great - however - have a plan when you return home because it will be much like living in the covered wagon days. I still remember how awful these were - never wanna eat these again
@NatomasSlingshot1 I can see you know what I am talking about. Words cannot explain the roar of the wind which is deafening! Then when you can actually see the water rising by the minute not knowing how much will come is terrifying!! For anyone riding it out my prayers are with you and buckle up - it's gonna be a rough ride through tonite!
