The officers club @ Patrick AFB was blown into the Atlantic--Melbourne is way to close to be near a Cat 4 hurricane.

Do NOT MESS WITH A HURRICANE--if your house was built prior to 95'--it may not be standing

My recollection of The Officers Club was that a fire burned it to the ground many years ago.

I thought I heard thunder too but it was plane. Maybe one of the last flights coming into orlando before it closes.

Putting a car in garage is not exactly emergency ready to leave.

Do you think your car can't take 75-125 mile an hour wind?

it can go that fast on road?

My cars are in the driveway backed in ready to go.

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)

momma always said, "stupid is as stupid does"

Hilarious!

I personally prefer to keep my auto in the garage and then lift the door manually if necessary, rather than take a chance of it getting beat by flying shingles, palm branches and/or other projectiles.

As of right now, I'm only seeing a forecast of winds up to 45 mph here in TV...so debris would be the issue more than a structure failure to me.

Good move Doug, but you missed your chance for the Darwin award--don't worry someone else will grab it before Matthew is gone

I think we'll not have a huge problem in TV with this hurricane except a possible huge rain and outage of power by broken transmission lines. But that can impact almost all things, light, A/C, water, gas, internet, cellphone, banks, etc. We'll know more in the next 6-8 hours. Stay safe!!
