State of Emergency-NOAA Link in OP

Based on nothing at all, I think our game will be played as scheduled. FSU may need to adjust there travel plans.

As of the new 5 p.m. advisory, Broward County is now under a hurricane watch. The stadium is in Broward County, so I'd think this could change things. I understand that the storm would hit on Thursday, if at all, and the game is Saturday night, but there would be a lot the school would have to consider when deciding to play the game. I'd guess that the stadium would have be evaluated by engineers if Broward does take a direct hit. Hosting a game takes a large amount of resources, with police, fire, etc., and if there is concern about storm recovery, that's a huge pull on resources. The school may decide to wait until later this week, but this westward shift and new hurricane warnings are not good, IMO.

If this track continues the game is not happening...

It's like we've got retarded clowns on here, cheering for the game to be cancelled. Just stupid.

Seriously. If the storm continues as currently projected, which admittedly is more westward than hoped or anticipated, Broward would still only get tropical force winds (maaaaybe Cat 1). The west side of a hurricane is less intense than the east. Then, the storm's long gone by Friday night. There won't be any structural **** to clean up with tropical force winds, and the game will go on as planned.

Good news is that while this storm is intense, it's force is heavily concentrated at the center. So anything shy of near-direct landfall, and the game is still probably a go. I'm most upset we'll likely miss a practice or two.

Granted, these are hurricanes, so we could be singing a much different (worse or better) tune come 8pm EST tonight or tomorrow.

Look let's get a couple things straight. I want this game to happen as much or more than anyone does! All I'm doing is giving some opinions on weather. The right front quadrant is indeed the most intense part of a tropical system. That being said if you think being on the west side of a system is a cake walk you're sadly mistaken. The westward shift in track was caused by one model run but the overall guidance has been shifting west for about 30 hrs. I hope that the models shift to a OTS solution. If you don't think that hurricane Matthew isn't a threat to Saturday night you have your head buried in the sand.

This. It's just a football game to most. As bad as we want this to happen, these threats aren't taken lightly.

Strength of the storm is very tight, so if the hurricane doesn't make FL landfall, then life in South Florida will hardly be affected, except everyone will have more water, gas, and pork'n'beans than they know what to do with.

I lived in South Florida for about 25 years, and on its current track, I think the game gets played.

Not sure if discussed but what were the conditions in 98 when UCLA was cancelled? Was it H Georges?

Do you live in Florida? This certainly isn't our first rodeo. Weather forecast for Saturday is partly cloudy with 30% of rain. Miami will have amazing weather after the storm is gone like every Hurricane that has passed us by. Worst case we get tropical storm weather on Thursday. It will be long gone come Friday night.

Born in Hollywood, raised in Lauderdale. I've been thru my share. Not really sure what you mean by "on its current track" as it moves now it's due North. The issue is a ridge and its strength to the North that will guide the system. The million dollar question is how far NW it gets nudged. Even the models don't have a good handle on this storm. My posts aren't really about the affects in SFL. If I had to guess right this minute I would tend to agree with you. My posts are more about the reaction from those in charge of Saturday night.

Yes I live in Fl (Panhandle) & see my last post about where I was born & raised. I understand what the forecast is for Saturday. My concern is what happens between now and then. I hope that those in charge don't make a rash decision on playing the game. What I can promise you is that they will err on the side of caution.

If it were to get canceled when would it be moved to? Do you think?

Someone said we don't have a common bye week, so it would have to Monday. Looks like UNC is going to get cancelled or has a great chance of it too, so UNC can play Monday too, and neither of us would be screwed. I don't care if it screws FSU or VT.
