As California Braces For The Big One, Major Hurricane Matthew Barrels Toward East Coast

Already, emergencies have been declared in two states – all of Florida, as well as eastern and central North Carolina. In both states, the decision was made because governors wanted to make resources available for what may become a large-scale preparation if Matthew were to threaten.

Here's the latest on how preparations are going.

Florida

Florida Gov. Rick Scott said during a press conference on Monday that he had declared a statewide of emergency because of expected impacts from Matthew.

On Sunday, Scott said that he was taking no chances with the storm, calling it "catastrophic." He is urging residents to be prepared, according to NBC News.

"If it hits our state, we could see impacts that we have not seen in many years," Scott said.

Scott's spokeswoman, Jackie Schutz, said on Monday that the governor had canceled Tuesday's Cabinet meeting to visit the state's emergency operations centers along Florida's east coast, according to the AP.

The U.S. Coast Guard issued an advisory to boaters in southeastern Florida Monday, saying they should begin to prepare for Hurricane Matthew.

While ports and facilities remain open to commercial traffic, all oceangoing vessels and barges greater than 500 gross tons "should make plans for departing the port," the Coast Guard said in its press release.

Pleasure-boat owners are being advised to seek safe harbor.

North Carolina

On Monday, Gov. Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency for 66 counties in central and eastern North Carolina, according to the Associated Press.

McCrory said at a news conference that he made the declaration at the request of North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler.

According to the governor, the declaration will help farmers clear their crops by lifting truck weight restrictions and hours of service. This will allow farmers to get their harvest to market ahead of any possible impacts from the hurricane.

The governor said he didn't want farmers to wait until Thursday to begin work if the storm is close to North Carolina.

South Carolina

The South Carolina Emergency Management Division issued a press release Sunday informing the public it has recommended the state's emergency response team review disaster preparedness plans, according to the AP.

Officials in Horry, Beaufort and Charleston counties say they're on alert status, noting that the storm's path is too uncertain to rule out any possibility.

Kim Stenson, director of the South Carolina Emergency Management Division, held conference calls this weekend with county emergency managers, emergency response teams and local National Weather Service offices.

On Monday, Hilton Head Island is suspending work on a $21 million dollar project to dredge sand from the ocean and rebuild the beach on the resort island on the state's southern tip until the storm passes, according to AP.

Watch them blame Russia for it too somehow

I can't wait to see the carnage this causes in Haiti. It's a great redpill for normies.

here's hoping Miami sinks.

polite sage cause not relay politics related IMO

It's news, a current event, and a potential happening. A disaster has political implications.

FUCK CALIFORNIA, LET IT TAKE OFF A CHUNK OF MEXICO WHILE WE'RE AT IT

What, you don't believe the Russians have weather dominator technology? We have to declare war on them ASAP, go- er guys.

If these storms and quakes hit Commiefornia, Jew York, and Florida's Jewish retirement homes and Miami, enough lefties might be displaced to keep them from voting and throw the election to Trump!

fair enough, but we do have a news+ board of reasonable activity. this thread would makes more since to me after it hits and trump gives a speech why Hillary is to busy getting her new lungs serviced. don't let me stop your fun though if everyone is interested.

...

And then his own military collapses because he purged all the good soldiers and left nothing but furious retired generals dying to hang him and an army of cucks and trannies to defend him

Floridanon here. Matthew will die down a lot before it hits us. Miami might get shafted, but I don't really care. Its not a yuge deal

Central Florida reporting.

Let's do this shit.

...

No, the Weather Controller was the Allied superweapon. Russia used nukes, and Yuri got the Psychic Dominator.

Rolling for Earthquake + Hurricane

Rerolling on your behalf.

Every transformer for 500 miles being blown is the Florida equivalent of being snowed in for a week: no work and nobody can say shit about it.

ROLLING FOR SIMULTANEOUS EARTHQUAKE, TSUNAMI, HURRICANE, YELLOWSTONE CATACLYSM AND SOME BONUS TORNADOES IN THE MIDDLE

ROLLING FOR JUDGMENT

AMERICA NEEDS A CLEANSE

Trump will make The Zone real.

Trailer parks always get #rekt. Its like God really hates them.

Its the culmination of white failure

Kek does not will it

What about Earthquake + Hurricane + Tsunami?

Meteor strike maybe?

we will get dubs one of these days dont sweat it lads

AFTER THE DARKNESS COMES THE LIGHT

Just an earthquake, it seems.

Earthquakes and lightning storms.

You don't ask for dubs, you fools.

News+ is hotpockets and not worth my time. I refuse to use that shit. I'm insulted that something that was forced so hard gets any traffic from Holla Forums users. If you click a newsplus link then shame on you.

Kek is clearly not pleased, abandoning low energy thread.

These are newfags. You can't reason with them, only subsume them and spit them out later as a fully redpilled piece of the whole.

I can't wait to see what Chicago gets hit by.

...

The San Andreas fault is unlikely to produce a tsunami unless it also causes an underwater landslide.

The Black Plague? That would be something.

>>>/cuckchan/

Kek grants those he deems worthy with repeating digits.
Based on the 3 or so earthquake threads a few days ago and the abnormal amount of dubs, trips, quads, and even a quint in them, it's probably safe to say Kek has willed the San Andreas fault will start shaking soon, and with devastating consequences for Southern Cuckifornia.

Mathew dindu nuthin. He a good low pressure system.

What do?

Gotta love Frankie

Earthquake preparedness means having a bag, get a backpack. Get a first aid kit with basic shit, neosporin, aspirin, ibuprofin, bandages, that sort of thing. Enough for you and your loved ones. Get a roll of toilet paper, roll it all around your finger and smash it flat then put it in a ziplock bag and suck the air out before putting that in the bag. All your medical good should be ziplocked as well in the event of water. If you do not have one a hiking water filter is a good investment, if you cannot afford one potable water tablets are only about 3 dollars. Get some of those or a filter. Next consider food, immediately you will need quick to eat food, but cans of tuna or other canned goods are too heavy to hoist around in a backpack unless you're /fit/. Consider dehydrated hiking food for the first few days of the disaster because it will be a morale boost and each bag will be enough to share with others. MREs are also good for the first few days. If your home is well built and won't end up a heap then store food. Even if it will, store food. 5 gallon buckets of oats, wheat and rice will be a godsend while roads are out of commission. If you can afford one a hand cranked weather radio is a morale booster and many of the newer models have USB charger adapters, flashlights and all built in. Those are good to have.

If a major quake occurs immediately drop to the ground, if the quake predicted in your area is strong enough the forces might be too strong to stand without being thrown around. Get under a table or beside a couch, preferably under a sturdy desk or table. Do not stand in doorways, that is a myth. Doorways are only better than tables if your house is an adobe hut or specifically built that way. Avoid hunkering down near walls on the edge of your home, those are the most likely to collapse in an earthquake. Immediately after the quake if you are in an area within the tsunami inundation zone you will need to move up fast. Plan a tsunami escape route now and walk it a few times. Consider landslides as well, alternate routes incase a building blocks your escape path or the hill has slid in the shaking.

The first days and weeks after the shaking you will have no gas, no electricity and no running water. Aftershocks will continue shaking the area and some may be close to the strength of the biggest quake. It will be hard going, but you can survive if you truly wish to. Having filters, replacement cartridges for those filters and any necessary medicines will be important, and a way to produce fire is essential as well. Lighters are extremely valuable.

For the major 9.0+ quake headed for California, residents need to assume the position = lean forward, put your head between your knees, and kiss your ass goodbye.

Re rolling for earthquake and hurricane, hundreds of thousands dead.

ONE OFF

To califags:
LEARN TO SWIM

too low, off by one. Millions of commies dead instantly in just the quake, easy.

Stop trying to force the dubs.
Just let Kek do as he pleases

No you don't. An earthquake isn't certain death unless you're in a dilapidated stone or brick building. Japan handled their quake very well. Their building codes are higher but the people were prepared. If more Americans are prepared then fewer will die. If you ever accept death it becomes a certainty. It is also extremely unlikely that a tsunami higher than 150 feet would be possible from even the most cataclysmic San Andreas fault slip due to the type of seismic zone. A Venturas fault quake would produce a more powerful tsunami and is almost assured to produce one, possibly reaching 170 feet but that is also unlikely height. There are many hills in much of California so it will not be difficult to escape the water if people are prepared.

I love how posts like this always get dubs

hollywood stop
hollywood
please stop

San An can't produce a tsunami period unless you're talking about the SF/SD bay's "bathtub effect" which would only really damage boats, possibly sink alcatraz, and possibly fuck up bridges if large boats crash into them.
What the SA could do is trigger the cascadia subduction zone, which has a 300% chance of going off in the next ten years. If Cascadia goes everything west of interstate 5 sinks due to a 700 foot tidal wave that goes ten miles inland.
I'm hoping cascadia goes and it all sinks, those cucks don't deserve all that natural beauty.

You'd be surprised how right you are.
If you're interested in geoengineering and how it's actually used, the rest of the channel is great.

Archaeological record disagrees with you. The idea of continental drop is still theory and there's no record of continental drop anywhere beyond 3 miles inland through all of washington state. You can see maps with archaeological notation here: file.dnr.wa.gov/publications/ger_tsunami_inundation_maps.pdf
The wave height on the Washington coast in particular is unlikely to exceed 130 feet and due to the topography of the coast will not travel any further than 3 miles inland aside from the Aberdeen area where it may inundate all the way to Montesano due to no hills.

The current odds mathematically is roughly 2% within the next 50 years for the northern fault line "full rip" 9.0 scenario and the odds for the southern, oregon coast smaller 8.0 quake is 1 in 6 for the next 50. We're far from "Overdue" yet, we're just average. Geologically we are very far from a certain quake.

You sound like you're quoting the article written by the woman in "The New Yorker" where she went on and on about the destruction. Economically it will be devastating, infrastructure will be gone for several years, yes and it will be terrible for people here, but it will not immediately kill everyone with the wall of water so many envision. Do not spread panic, spread awareness and preparedness.

Now this is something I can get behind.

Also, checked.

...

One of the many reasons I love Holla Forums.

And of course it's an Allied Superweapon anons, it's being used by our [[[allies]]] on the US so we have carte blanche to blame the Russians. Just like 9/11 and the Middle East

And yet they still elect Republicans.

wew might as well give that shit back to Mexico at this rate

California was doomed ever since Prop. 187 was overturned by a federal activist judge.

The judge who presided over that decision died last year, may she rot in hell for ruining a once beautiful state.

If dubs, dubs no longer exist

According to the latest reports, the hurricane has tilted West, and will now be skewering the entirety of its hot, wet ring of excited mass down the immovable shaft of Florida.


Stop trying to divide by zero.

This means the south will finally receive rain, yes? Yes.
