    The projected track is definitely odd. Brushing Florida as a cat 4, circling back around, crossing Florida again, revving back up to major hurricane strength and slamming into the Mexican Riviera. There are great discounts though for booking cruises in hurricane season.

    My grandma's in Orlando. I'm sure she'll be fine, but I'm still a bit worried.

    Local news is projecting it to be worse than Charlie. Admittedly, the news likes to over-hype every storm that comes our way. I hope they're wrong. But now that Disney actually is closing the entire resort (which doesn't happen often, not even in the face of past major hurricanes), I'm starting to get a bit concerned. You know there's cause to worry when Disney decides to stop business.

    That seems like a really accurate statement.

    She can get text notifications regarding Hurricane Matthew from the State Emergency Response Team. Tell her to text "FLPREPARES" to 888-777.

    Ok I was wrong about the name of the last Hurricane that reached Europe. But I remember hearing they retired a name because it reached Europe.

    I hope everyone here and their families are safe. My former co-worker is in the direct path down in South Florida so I'm hoping he and his family make it through okay along with everyone else.

    Waaay too late in the day, though. I'm tempted to go to Universal on Sunday (if they are even open) to see the damage.

    Oh come on! If they close too early, people might ask for refunds. As it is, everyone can have a full, drenched day of fun.

    Looks like a secondary eye wall is forming, could sap some of the power out of the storm.

    Carolinas now projected to get a cat-1 starting tomorrow night through Saturday night, that's down significantly from initial projections.

    That is completely incorrect. Wilma was retired because it was the most powerful tropical cyclone in the western hemisphere and caused devastating damage and loss of life in the Yucatan peninsula and Florida. It did not reach Europe as a tropical cyclone; you are likely thinking of Vince that formed before Wilma although it did not make it to Europe as a hurricane but as a tropical depression. But Vince was not retired.

    Oh. I got confused as a said before. Vince should of been retired. The fact that Vince reached Europe as a TD & not Extratropical it deserves retirement.

    My wife put the Weather Channel on. I'm now more hyped for Matthew than I am for Rogue One, Justice League, infinity War and spending three weeks with jp-30 visiting the vineyards of New Zealand. Combined!
