He is a hard headed Vietnam Vet and won't evac. 100% service disabled.

Hopefully far enough inland they won't get beat up too bad.
P.S. Include all other unfortunate souls in Mat's path!

I offer my prayers also. My brother and his wife just moved to Florida earlier this year.Skiprr wrote:Prayers for your aunt and uncle, and for everyone on the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Matthew could still take a more easterly path than the center of the cone of uncertainty shows right now…but it might not. Currently, the middle of the track is looking almost like it literally hugs the coast, the eye staying only a mile or two offshore, and follows the coast all the way from West Palm to north of Savannah, Georgia.
An almost nightmare scenario, because staying over warm Atlantic waters and never making direct landfall means that it might retain Its Cat 4 strength. Hoping for the best, but this storm track could be unprecedented.
