going to be intensifying over the next four, five, six hours. we are expecting the eye to be out over the ocean when it gets to date tone that beach right around 1:00, and depending on how big that eye wall is at that hour, if it s just 40 miles or so, that s great news for us, if it s 60 miles, that s not as good news for us here in daytona beach. one thing i have noticed looking at some of the radar loops over the past couple of hours, all those outer bands of the storm that have been in this area for about four, five, six hours, the green that you see, as that storm is circulating making its way north, those outer bonds are a lot weaker than the bands closest to the center of the storm, and so they tend to hit and then quit. they don t have the energy to make it back around to rejoin the fight. so what that may mean is as we get into the 6, 7:00 a.m. hour, we may see a smaller footprint from matthew, but a stronger
that s why we saw these ee v evacuations. as brian mentioned some beautiful areas, hilton head, down through savannah, brunswick, we could see a lot of storm surge here, partially because of the way the land is structured with all these little rivers and inlets here. the water can tend to pile up quickly, and we ve seep that with other storms. always we go to the north we are still looking at the storm surge threat a little bit less for north carolina but i am concerned about north carolina, because some of the computer models are showing that we could see a lot of rain there. just because the storm looks like it s moving away, please be on alert in both of the carolinas. this is the previous track, this line here, notice how to jogs to the south and it wiggles a little bit, very important to note because typical of hurricanes we could see a little bit of a movement further to the west. right now the storm is moving to the northwest, but again it s so
this water is going to rise anywhere from six to seven, upwards of 10, 11 feet and then on top of that, whatever waves are breaking will head inland. so for all of those folks who live along the intracoastal water way, they have to be concerned about this. within a matter of minutes you can have water that looks at the level it should be and suddenly, it is in your house. we saw a lot of sand bagging over the past few days so we know that people have been sand bagging. we ll just have to see how well those sand bags hold up to the surge. the surge is always the real culprit of deaths and fatalities, connected with hurricanes. we do know about one confirmed fatality at this point port st. lucie florida to our south along the coast. one woman in her late 50s had a cardiac event and lost her life and apparently first responders were not able to get to her as
