Might be worthwhile swinging by the store and picking up a couple cases of water today.
For those asking about the system to the east of Matthew, the consensus is that if that system develops it could pull Matthew out to see. So as strange as it seems we may actually want another hurricane to develop.

Governor Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency for every county in Florida in response to the possible threat of Hurricane Matthew.
Hurricane Matthew is a life-threatening category four hurricane and we must all take it seriously. If Hurricane Matthew directly impacts Florida, there could be massive destruction which we haven’t seen since Hurricane Andrew devastated Miami-Dade County in 1992. That is why we cannot delay and must prepare for direct impact now. Today, I signed an Executive Order declaring a State of Emergency in every Florida county to ensure we have resources for evacuations, sheltering and other logistical needs across our state. We are preparing for the worst, but hoping for the best and we will not take any chances to ensure our state is prepared. Hurricane Matthew has already killed four people and nobody wants that number to rise. As I said during Hurricane Hermine, we can rebuild a home or a business, but we cannot rebuild your life. The best way to prevent further loss is to get prepared now and take this storm seriously. Having a plan in place could mean the difference between life and death during severe weather, especially a major category four hurricane. Although Matthew is not currently projected to directly impact Florida, we all know how quickly the track of these storms can change. While there are no evacuation orders currently in place, this storm could threaten our state with very little notice and no one should be caught off guard. If an evacuation order is activated in your area, leave immediately. Once severe weather comes, our first responders will not be able to rescue you until the weather subsides. Our National Guard stands ready to be deployed if needed. I am also in contact with the utilities across the state and will stay in communication with them regarding their plans if there are any power outages. We are taking steps to move additional fuel to the state’s east coast. On the Florida Turnpike, we also have extra fuel trucks on standby to get anywhere in our state. Again, while we are preparing for the worst, we are hoping for the best and will not take any chances with a storm of this magnitude.”
I had already put up over half of my shutters, just did the rest today as we are leaving town for the week....hope everything stays okay of course for all concerned....please STAY AWAY MATTHEW!!!
It is going to make a direct hit on Gitmo (Guantanamo Bay) very shortly. Be interesting to see how that turns out. Might be a good time for the few remaining inmates to get a little time out in the fresh air:hairraiser.
Ok all you Floridians, I need some advice. Supposed to fly into Fort Lauderdale on Thursday at 10am. and head to the keys. Should I cancel this excursion of mine? Or do a wait and see Until Wednesday night

I'm guessing airport may be shut down Thursday.

Almost time to go into panic mode
if **** hits the fan, can I still stay at your place?
I think way out west where you live is a lot safer.
I'm 18 feet above sea level, so I should be ok.
Polar-NO!!

With the trend to a western swing of the path, you might want to consider other plans
