Hurricane Matthew
Anybody camped out along the southeast coastline needs to pay close attention to forecasts and make your "bug-out" plans. Looks like the storm is going to impact the Florida east coast all the way up...

Thanks for caring enough to share this information. Be safe and may God be with you and yours.
I've lived in the Tampa Bay area my entire life and he is right, to some extent. We have not had a direct hit in decades but there has been storm damage from high winds and flooding along the beaches and low lying areas. A lot depends on where you are in relation to the storm center.
Keep in mind that the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed to the East of New Orleans. If it would have passed to the West, the damage would have been worse.
