(Reddit Live) The storm is about due east of Palm Bay, FL with the eye about 34 miles off shore. We are unsure if it will make landfall officially but remember it does not need to make landfall to cause damage. The storm surge will be massive with this storm. This is only the beginning too. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the day. |

(The Guardian) Florida Governor Rick Scott mentioned another important piece of information about Lake Okeechobee in his update: that the US Army Corps of Engineers are assessing potential damage. The lake was already the subject of a local emergency earlier this year, when the Army Corps released water from the lake to avoid damaging notoriously old levees. “I’m worried about the dike,” said Guadalupe Duran told USA Today on Thursday. Her home is a mile away from the lake. “It could flood everything.” |

(Reddit Live) (1) Daytona beach winds look significant enough to bring down power lines, trees, and do structural damage to roofs judging from videos coming out of the area. (2) Stream shut down from Daytona Beach, "Sea wall gone" and then camera cut out. (3) Extremely significant surge in Daytona Beach. |

(The Guardian) President Obama just gave us an update on how the White House is monitoring Hurricane Matthew. He made specific mention of Jacksonville, Florida and the Georgia coast as areas of concern. What we’re seeing now is Matthew, having moved above south Florida and some of the largest population centers, working its way north,” said Obama. “The big concern people are having now is the effects it could have in areas like Jacksonville on through Georgia.” Obama sat next to Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency better known as FEMA, during the update. The agency has made emergency preparations along the Florida coast, which will move north with the storm, Obama said. “I just want to emphasize to everybody – this is still a really dangerous hurricane. The potential for storm surge, flooding, loss of life and severe property damage continues to exist, and people need to follow the instructions of their local officials over the course of the next 24, 48, 72 hours.” |
