Hurricane Matthew was a Category 5 and began dissipating just before it got to us. \u00a0IMPORTANT TO KNOW from Russ Kellum who does his own research:<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">\u00a0<em>When they say a hurricane is 500 miles wide and 185 mph, that doesn&#8217;t mean the entire storm is moving 185 mph. Example: Irma, the eye 60 miles in diameter. A FEW MILES OUTSIDE of that is where the 185 mph winds are. NOT all 500 miles. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember on 9-28-16 Hurricane Matthew formed as a Cat 5 with 165mph winds. Winds died to 145 as it crossed Cuba and the Bahamas. Winds fell even lower as it moved up the east coast, bringing 109 winds to Brevard County on 10-6-16. The same can happen here. READ THIS AND REMEMBER it can change course at last minute and lose force. Hold the vision with me?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">From\u00a0Jason Diehl who does his own research:<em><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> Channel 6 weather podcasted that the storm will pass to our far East due to the &#8220;cold&#8221; front that&#8217;s over us right now. His exact words were no other stations are broadcasting this or showing it on their models but it will change Irma&#8217;s path far far East of what everyone&#8217;s saying. I didn&#8217;t understand how none of the major local channels had the HUGE shearing frontal boundary that was basically on top of us and pushing south towards Irma. That&#8217;s what steers a high pressure system other systems it &#8220;bounces&#8221; off of. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We&#8217;re staying and it feels safe to stay. If you feel led to go, then go. My experience is resistance always has meaning. It means somewhere else is more suited to your belief system. You can either leave or revisit your belief and see if it still serves you. If friends had me freaked and I believed I was unsafe, it wouldn&#8217;t matter if I was or not, I&#8217;d get elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/rainbow-storm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-45960\" src=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/rainbow-storm-300x197.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/rainbow-storm-300x197.jpg 300w, http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/rainbow-storm.jpg 489w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/positive-thinking-doesnt-mean-deny-the-storm-it-means-expect-the-rainbow\/\">Positive thinking doesn\u2019t mean look at the raging storm and deny it\u2019s happening<\/a>. <span style=\"color: #000000;\">Positive thinking means look for the rainbow, know the storm will pass and until then spend your time in happy pursuits, planning a hopeful future. \u00a0Yes, even while the storm rages on around you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Seth thru Jane Roberts on How do we face a hurricane?
