While I don't normally make journals and all, this is just a heads up. Hurricane matthew is baring down on my location, and landfall may hit really close by, to the point I might get eyewall winds if it moves a slight bit west. I'm hunkered down, boarded and shuttered up, got lots of supplies, and a heavy duty hurricane resistant house. Still, wish me luck here, this is a scary situation and I can't evac due to my pets and health issues. I'm not on a barrier island and it shouldn't flood, but still can worry. Hope goes out to all the others caught up in this mess too. Hope I can return soon in case things get bad.
