Hurricane Matthew

I just thought I had to comment about the hurricane. Can you believe it's already considered a level 4? Crazy! Lucky I'm nowhere near where it will hit. And it all ready swept through Haiti, what a double whammy for them. I hared on the news a couple with a vacation home in Florida. They calmly said to the reporter "Oh, well just wait it out. It's just like a blizzard in Minnesota!" The weatherman proceeded to say; "THIS IS NOT A BLIZZARD IN MINNESOTA!" I hope none of you are in Florida right now! Or have family and friends where the storm is/will be hitting. Stay safe.

Yeah, it is crazy, isn't it? My family has some friends who just moved down there recently. They evacuated to Georgia, I believe, but their house reportedly hasn't been too badly hit, so they're heading back soon.
They shouldn't have called it Matthew—I can't hear it talked about without thinking of Downton Abbey, which is really quite inappropriate for the situation...
