Crisis averted? Hurricane Matthew to stay south...maybe

Submitted by Phil Brickma on

Good news. Latest forecast cone from NOAA has Hurricane Matthew slowing down and taking a turn east at the Carolinas. If it follows this path, it shouldn't pose a problem for Saturday's 7 p.m. kick in Piscataway. Fingers crossed.

Congratulations, Rutgers, you get to keep your night game.

Totally agree that it will be a really big rain and wind event for most, as well as the issues with low-lying areas. The other variable in terms of storm intensity is the location relative to the eye of the storm. Anywhere to the north and east of the eye takes a much bigger punch than locations to the south and west.

Am I the Debbie downer who mentions that a dozen people have been killed thus far by this?

It's been a crisis regardless of the effect it has on our football game being at risk. Stay safe, everyone.

I'm supposed to fly down tomorrow for the S.C.-Georgia game. Checking constantly to see if it's happening. This after last year when I was supposed to go down for the game against LSU when a hurricane hit that weekend as well. These are the only 2 times I've tried to go to a game there. Maybe it's me.
