I'm evacuating tonight - but I'd be 2-3 frames behind ya if I wasn't.
I can only imagine I won't be back for probably 2 weeks or so, Matthew knocked out power for almost a full week, and this looks astronomically worse for Merritt Island.

I want to say they were quotes from officials in those countries. We'll see.
If the BVI's look that bad, I expect we'll get some pretty grim USVI pictures today. Kind of glad my wife and I already explored a good bit of the Caribbean already, because it might be another decade before they recover.

Guess im awful but im mainly concerned with wildlife and especially pets and things like all the people with same water aquariums full of rate or sorta endangered stuff.
People choose where they live and can evacuate. But to often you see where they can't or don't bother to have plans for their critters.

Have you ever read The Cay? The friggin cat survives but the old black guy doesn't. Hurricanes are racist.

Ya, but "Still technically virgin because they were ass raped islands" just doesn't roll off the tongue.

Those models lose reliability in drastic fashion on the 5th+ day. We'll see what happens in a few days.

Well obviously shelter is suggested. You wouldn't want to get wet, would you?
That is one Boss House.

Back when I lived in Kentucky, we had straight line winds of only like 70-80 mph that ripped trees in half.
Most people have no frame of reference for what 185 mph looks like.

It's like Edko said the other day. I've been in 100 mph wind and it was tolerable the biggest fear was shit being blown around. I've say on the balcony of a hotel in Daytona when a TS came ashore and stared at the clear sky in the eye before. Cat1-2 the danger is debris and shit landing on you, including trees. Cat 3+ the danger is you and everything around you ripping apart and flying away. Cat 5. Fuck that that is tornado strength. Thankfully that wind speed is limited usually to 20 miles or so of the eye.
If that eye lands on the southern side of Miami or the eye itself moves or Miami, the damage in that area will be quite severe.

Don't forget that hurricanes spawn tornadoes. It's generally rare that they're F3's or F4's, but there's a history of them happening. Hurricane Ike in 2004 spawned about 120 tornadoes, including an F3 which killed a few people (I think it traveled something like 20+ miles, too).
I mean, talk about a shitty situation. Even if you survive the winds and flooding, you still may get a fucking F2 or F3 tornado which rips through your house.
