Default Hurricane Matthew

Not looking good for the east coast. Should stay off shore but going bring quite a bit of rain and strong winds. Might want to rely on the cage this week.
Let's hope it stays off shore and doesn't hit us, that's one mean storm.
EDIT: 10/06 - It'll skirt up the east coast, not a direct hit but still a very dangerous storm. My suggestion is find a secure location and ride it out if you're not leaving. Cat 4-5's are devastating, be smart and good luck.

Ya, I started the cage commute on this shift.
He can go play in Bermuda wouldn't bother me a bit.

If it stays far enough off the east coast, it may dry this place out a little too. The weekend is looking very nice.

Looking like we might get the outer bands then the forecast is for a good weekend. Glad to hear that it's been a wet 4-5 weeks.

Ugh it's looking like it's heading closer to us than first thought.

I figure this..............we should all bring out bikes out to Laurens home and line them up.

Let the rains from the storm soak the bikes GOOD. THEN in our skivvies wash the bikes really GOOD.

Now THAT would be FUN!!!

Plus a few beers, maybe toke a toke for those who like to toke a toke and we have a grand ole time.

Yup, that is what I say.

Some models have Matthew making landfall I n mid-Florida, some as far north as South Carolina. Just saw the South Carolina governor recommend evacuation of 100 miles from the coast.

Please everyone be safe! Don't take risks with your life, and put first responders at risk because of your ignorance.

Make sure you batten down the hatches, and if you are not in an evacuation zone make sure you have adequate emergency supplies. And don't forget the rum!!
