Matthew?
10/1/2016 8:03:40 AM EDT
[#1]
Not likely an issue for us from what I just viewed as a high pressure system is in place to help steer it off our coast.  Matthew also is a relatively small storm with H winds that only span a 30 mile area.

But one should never take the eye off the ball...

Nope.

My wife's got a flight out of PBI early Wednesday afternoon; I hope it gets off without a hitch.

The projections keep changing the expected time of the storm's closest approach.

I have not seen an "M" on a track map for a long time.  111 mph +.  The cone covers SE FL.  This is worth watching.  If you have put off preparing this might be a reminder.  
Or it could be just a rain event.

Most power hurricane since 2007. Was a Cat 5 last night and was just downgraded to a Cat 4.

Guess you don't read the fine print.

It is important to remind users that average NHC track forecast
errors are around 175 miles at day 4 and 230 miles at day 5.
Therefore, it is too soon to rule out possible hurricane impacts
from Matthew in Florida.

Lot of this goes over my head but.............

It's sad to think about how many of them will likely lose their lives even if it turns out to be only a rain event for them.

Meh........Haiti is in good hands, the Klinton Foundation will give them all the help they need.........

Seriously, yes, many would perish there, many still in cardboard shacks since the earthquake

I would at least fill your gas tanks & any gas cans you have.  That's the biggest thing I remember from Wilma....those gas lines.

And Miami-JBT for the correct answer. Ask me how many we imported last time, I know MCO and Sanford took in over 15k. And those are just the numbers I was privy to. Never let a good crisis go to waste or a chance to get voters in before an election

Sucks to be Haitians right about now. But they're going to die. Best thing we can is leave them to themselves.

West where?  Models this morning have it likely passing east of the Bahamas and heading towards N Carolina.  We should know more in a couple days.

New models have it shifting ever so slightly more west every few hours, so far...

https://twitter.com/DCRobTV/status/782996368537169920/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Also the Navy NAVGEM model shows it plowing Florida but this is generally not a good model to follow:

Not positive, but I think they can sell you a policy until a hurricane warning (maybe watch) is actually issued for your area.  As of 5 pm there are no official watches or warnings for Florida.  If you are serious I would be on the phone first thing in the morning.

This early I prefer the path was heading right toward us as they are usually wrong.
With the forecast being that it should miss us now has me concerned.

I could get a policy online tonight and it would start tomorrow, but it wouldn't cover flood which is my main concern, my building has impact windows and shutters, just worried about water coming under the door. I'm a few hundred yards from the intracoastal.

I don't think renters insurance is going to cover flood no matter when you buy it.  You need separate flood insurance.  You need to talk to a licensed agent in your area that can get you the coverage you need.  If you are interested in renters insurance and you can get it tonght, it may be something you want to do while you can.

Just a thought.
