Hurricane Matthew makes powerful landfall in Haiti
 
Powerful Hurricane Matthew threatens Haiti
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-37537851

It's the strongest storm to hit Haiti since 1964 and it's the last thing they need, with hundreds of thousands still living in tents in the streets after the 2010 earthquake. Experts are predicting a catastrophic loss of life :(

Looking pretty likely it's going to affect Florida. This storm is has so many small land areas in it's path

Ninastar 04-10-2016 07:05 PM

Looks like it's going to hit me here too... scary stuff! Hopefully no one gets killed :(

Oh dear :laugh: Thanks for the education. Honestly had only ever heard the female ones, and the reason used tends to be 'females are more destructive' :umm2:

also Tropical storm Nicole that is churning around Bermuda could interact with this hurricane to further complicate matters

It's the voodoo he objects to.

Seriously, what a terrifying thing to experience.

Now over 340 dead in the Caribbean

Josy 07-10-2016 07:23 AM

Very sad

LeatherTrumpet 07-10-2016 07:40 AM

On Berry Island south of Grand Bahama the weather station there recorded 927 mm of rain that`s over 36 inches if correct, highest rain rate 515 mm per hour.:omgno:

Highest sustained winds was 90 mph and Highest gust 101 mph

927mm of rain is roughly what Swansea gets in a whole year
