I may not be on this forum temporarily, so if you are expecting an acorn for any Daylily of the Day evaluations for those cultivars that I feature, rest assured I will catch up with you when my power and internet service is restored. With Hurricane Matthew approaching Florida, I expect to lose power probably Thursday evening or early Friday. We are hunkering down as are most of the locals. We are hoping for no to minimal damage.

Take care, Becky! Hope Matthew will veer off farther to the east so that the eastern seaboard will not be affected.

I wish. My family believes it will come on land at or near Sebastian Inlet. We are hoping that it decreases to a low category 3 or less. That is our biggest concern. We may be wishing that we had evacuated, but the roads are packed. Better not to be on the road in a hurricane. If our roof holds up, we should be ok.

Stay safe, Becky! It has been terrible so far, hope it weakens by the time it hits land.

Above all, stay safe.

Becky be very careful. This is thing is a monster. Saw video this morning of the damage in Cuba. Prayers !

Stay warm and dry!

Do be as careful as you can. Our prayers and thoughts are with those being affected by Matthew and those in its path...

Yes, definitely be safe. I imagine schools are closed for the rest of the week.

We are on the beach in the Daytona area. We will see what happens. Nothing good I expect.

Take care of yourself, Becky!

May God Bless and Protect You, Your Family, Pets, Home and Vehicles! Jesus Christ who calmed the sea, and reigns eternally please protect the United States and her people from Hurricane Matthew and its effects! We ask this in Jesus's name. amen. Many blessings for everyone's safety and well-being!

Becky. We'll all be looking forward to hearing from you as soon as this beast is past your area.

@florange Arlene, same with you. Hang in there, and I'm hoping that it goes way out to sea and doesn't do any damage.

Pray that everyone who will be affected by Matthew that they, their families and homes will be safe. Wow, this looks like a bad one.

Matthew does look like a really bad one, it is huge and powerful. Thoughts are with all in the way, Fl, GA, SC...and where ever else this storm may go, stay safe!

Prayers for all

Prayers for everyone in its path ....................

I work for an electric coop and they already have several crews lined up to head that way! Please let us know you are safe when you have the chance!

May all be safe.

May all of you in the path of Matthew be safe

Luck and safety to you Becky.... You (and all Floridians, Georgians, and Carolinians) are in my thoughts and prayers.
