Hurricane Update from FGGAM Friend Meteorologist Ken Widelski:
Update on Hurricane Matthew. Matthew is still a category 4 hurricane and made landfall twice…once in Haiti and the other in Cuba. The storm will wreak havoc on the entire Bahama island chain over the next 24-36 hours. Beyond that, there is high confidence that the Florida east coast will be directly impacted by Matthew Thursday into Friday. The storm could rake much of the coast from south to north as a powerful hurricane.
Beyond Florida, it looks likely that Matthew will impact the Carolinas.it appears now that the Middle Atlantic, Northeast, and New England may largely be spared. Stay tuned to weather.gov and to nhc.noaa.gov for the latest.
Thank you Ken for this update! We are in constant prayer for the safety of all!
