I live in Miami. We have had NO effect from Hurricane Matthew. A little rain, very little wind.
For Brevard county, the news now is that the eye will stay offshore. The good news is that even though the winds at the eye of the storm are at 135 mph, winds of this speed are only on the east side of the eye, which will remain offshore. The west side of the eye has winds of only 75-80 miles an hour, which though hurricane strength, is only a category one hurricane. We have gone through category one storms several times, and though power may be lost, there is usually not a huge amount of damage or life loss.
Thanks for all the prayers. God has heard them. :)
