Looks like it's most likely to hug the eastern coast of Florida, so my escape to my apartment in Jacksonville will probably be just step 1...
Bleh, the flooding from Matthew in Jacksonville was really bad (the water rose higher than I'd ever seen it before it even began raining and 2 days prior to the hurricane arriving). If you look at a map, Jacksonville is this unfortunate bottleneck where the east coast runs into the jutting Florida peninsula, and the very large St John's river runs straight through the center of it towards the ocean. The end result is that there's simply nowhere for all of the water to go; I remember seeing water pouring up through the manholes for weeks after the hurricane as they tried to disperse it all.
We'd only had one hurricane in Jacksonville that took place about a century ago, but now we're about to have two in two years. I may have to consider moving, as the last flood got to the upper steps leading to the front door and this one has the potential to actually flood the building, and the seawall across the street from my apartment already suffered severe damage in Matthew :(
Gonna move all my cool stuff up onto furniture and get out. In the mean time, I hope you islanders are ok!! I can't imagine what that's like; is there anywhere to go that isn't a massive flood risk?
