Hoping any and all of you in the affected zones take care and follow the advisories.

When do you expect it to hit your area?
It looks like Lynn, the third part of CC, might be in its path. Otherwise, it would take a very infelicitous deviation to come clear over to WA!
You can track both Matthew and TS Nicole here: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
I used to have a program called “Eye of the Storm” that I could plug the location data into the system and it would track the storm for me, and give me projections based on the tracking information already entered. Alas, that went out when Windows 2000 and ME came on the scene.
I haven’t seen anything like it since..
My brother and S-I-L were vacationing on the Outer Banks this past week. I don’t know if they’ve left yet or not. I was following him on Facebook, but then something else happened on Facebook and I decided I didn’t want to be a part of it any longer. So, I deactivated my account. It’s about a 14 hour trip from the Outer Banks to home, depending on how traffic moves there. It’s a 2-lane road from what I remember, crossing from one island to another until it gets to the mainland, and then might become multilane, but I don’t believe it does until it gets to Elizabeth City, NC.
I frequently check noaa Hawaii to see what is looming in our general direction.
Bad to be in its path, bad to be in areas of the already soggy central US that get rain off it. We sojourned in Charleston and Savannah this May, and both beautiful cities are in harm’s way, not to mention the east coast of FL, and the whole lower part of the eastern seaboard. I hope everybody’s hatches are well battened down and everyone is safely out of the danger zones. It’s an uphill fight sometimes convincing the citizenry that people are more important than property, and to secure the best you can, and then get the heck out to higher, safer ground. Of course, climate change is driving more and worse tropical storms, and the situation is not going to get any better any time soon, and is only going to worsen unless we get start taking climate change seriously and make a major effort to reverse it.
