Any one going to ignore the evacuation recommendations? if so perhaps you could give us a play by play of what its like to be in a cat4 hurricane.

I'm staying put as are most of my neighbors.

I have been through many hurricanes. This will be an adventure.

I more afraid for my car than anything else. I have a carport that is half open on the east side.

I will post as long as I can from my closet lol when it comes to that.

This neighborhood doesn't really flood because we are on a slight ridge.

All of my outside door jambs are about 8 inches off the ground/porch floor.

We are not under mandatory evacuation but are east of US1

This also my first hurricane with impact Windows. I'm not sure I'll want to look outside though!

Forecast models currently put Florida’s Palm Beach County at the heaviest point of impact for the impending storm. If Matthew makes landfall, it will be the first hurricane to directly hit the state since Hurricane Wilma in October 2005.

Palm Beach county is very large geographically. That just adds to our suspense. Yikes.

Our coast is almost 50 miles long (some say 45;some say 47) but considering the size of the storm we're all going to get whacked somehow.

So the Question is do you think it will end this year.

DAMN is it too late to cast my vote? Very timely thread.
