The storms has trashed Haiti, currently trashing cuba a bit, and now it looks to be on the way to my state of Florida, and I live on the coast, so it looks like we're going to be in for a ride.

Already stocked up on supplies, thoughts are with anybody affect by the storm.

We're probably gonna feel some pretty bad winds and storms over here in SC, my deepest thoughts go out to those who will/are affected by the storm

Fellow florida boy reporting in, My family is preparing as well. Do you remember hurricane charlie? Missed me by only a few miles. Completely destroyed surrounding neighborhoods, but our house suffered no damage. Here's hoping all of us can weather the storm well.

I remember Hurricane Charlie! I was in Orlando at the time as a child... Flight was delayed for days which sucked.

About to put Dem hurricane shutters on here in a few minutes. Still got to go grab a couple of small supplies.
Already got a full tank of gas.

I'm a little worried about this loop the loop that the hurricane is thinking about.

Beyond that it seems as though my area is just under a tropical storm warning. Stay safe, Floridians.

Seriously, it's THE best coffee in town (that I've witnessed, at least).

But more seriously, all you GHers in Matthew's projected path hunker down and be safe out there.

Oh hey, Hurricane Charlie. I was on a sailboat heading to the Keys when that one started coming in, had to turn around and head back. It was my only hurricane exposure, as a Wisconsinite.

My thoughts are with all you Floridians and others affected by this. Stay safe.

I don't really get this feeling. I mean we've known Charlie was coming for at least a week, and for a couple of weeks we knew it was a possibility. I'll have to look at global events though because I can only speak for hurricanes in the Atlantic (since that concerns me most).

Hurricanes happen pretty regularly though, and give a decent amount of time to prepare. It does feel like in general there are more crazy/weird things going on, but that might just be a reporting/awareness thing more than an actual trend.

And fohat, please stop trying to use this tragedy as an opportunity to score cheap political points.

Be safe bro. Some of our friends in Haiti are telling us its pretty bad in some areas but not as bad as it could have been in others. Of course the problems there are only getting started it's all the aftermath, the flooding, and what comes with the dirty water, even less food supplies etc. that they'll have to deal with for some time. What we all take for granted is many of the folks in certain regions didn't even know a storm was coming.

My parents are an hour from Jacksonville so they're planning for the worst but hoping it skirts them like all the rest have this season.
