I am 1 1⁄2 miles from the beach in Fort Lauderdale and staying put. I have a friend in Daytona who lives on the intercoastal who is expecting flooding but is also staying put. She is expecting higher winds and more storm surge because Matthew is expected to be closer to landfall further north in Florida. We have been told to expect sustained winds of 60 mph while further north can expect sustained winds of 90+mph. How close are you to the beach?
I have seen some predictions where Matthew goes north to the outer banks and then makes a clockwise u-turn and comes back to northern Florida.
