I can't seem to find anything on what if any effect Matthew had on the North Coast...specifically Cabrera?聽 Hey, Tomas Cabrera...did you get any storm effects??

If pattern holds for climate change (whatever it's underlying causes) Does anyone worry about the shifting trade winds and intensifying hurricanes?聽 I can imagine that lessening winds would make the Caribbean bake!

The OP asked about the north coast where you are talking about is the far south west area and 5-7 hours from here.聽 Yes they had some damage there.

Here on the NORTH COAST....NADA

Yes we got very luck! Again.....

Part of this is geography and how storms behave.聽 The north coast has not had聽 hurricanes for a variety of reasons.聽聽It is one reason some of us choose to live on the north coast!
