The cone is creeping further west. I'm in SWFL and this am the cone was barely over Miami. Now it's coming about halfway across the state. It's a wait and see. If it comes as a cat 2 from the sheering of cubas mountains then damage will be considerably less (obviously). That's the only thing we have going for us in Fla Is the altitude in Cuba.
So I do stuff this afternoon, leaving when Matthew is a Cat 3 hurricane. I come back to my dorm and it's a Cat 5. I gotta admit my first response on checking the status of the storm tonight was holy ****!

The mountains Cuba are gonna take care of some of that. The worry will be if it does it enough to get it below Cat 3. We can't trust the models right now cause they initially didn't even have it going above a cat 3 at its highest. Our gulf water is super heated warm, this summer was brutal and ungodly hot and we are still hitting triple digit heat indexes and tomorrow is Oct. it's not good news
