When the eye hit they ran as fast as they could to get away. In our condo which was 9 floors one unit owner tried to ride one out and he said how scared he was and again ran as fast as he could when the eye of the hurricane arrived. What they think is "Macho" now will come to reality when they get in the line of the hurricane. When windows start to blow out, the building starts to rock, water starts to come in, etc. it is no longer a "fun ride". Oh well, there is one born everyday.  |
The Weather channel interviewed 3 people who live on the ocean in Cocoa Beach and plan to "ride it out".
The first said all her neighbors always ride it out and have a big party, so she plans on drinking all day
The second said he saw a bunch of utility trucks on the road, so he knows it will be OK because the state is "prepared"
The third rocket scientist said the gulf stream is offshore and he knows that it will pull Matthew out to sea! (must have majored in meteorology)
