Thursday.

Today is the day when hurricane Matthews will hit Florida.

My wife's eldest daughter lives in Daytona Beach and according to the forecasters Daytona Beach is on the track of the hurricane. We are in constant touch with her and understandably are very worried and concerned.

My wife lived through a few hurricanes when she lived in Florida so she has some understanding of the dangers involved but I have never except a few close calls in the Caribbean.

What makes this hurricane worse than many others is that it is huge and it carries a big punch. It came up from the Caribbean and left many dead people in its trail.

So it is totally understandable why we are worried but beside offering a lot of advice there is very little we can do from here in New York.

We pray and hope that nothing will happen to her and her environment.
