Hurricane Matthew is a Category 4 major hurricane that is expected to hit the east coast of the U.S.:

With the Category 4 hurricane expected to brush up to the US East Coast later this week after its deadly assault on the Caribbean, state officials warned residents and visitors to start preparing for some miserable times. Up to 1 million people could face evacuation in South Carolina. Matthew is an "extremely dangerous" storm, Florida Gov. Rick Scott said, one that made landfall in western Haiti on Tuesday morning. It then headed over eastern Cuba with winds of 140 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center, before losing some of its force. The Bahamas are next. The forecast is that Matthew will ride along the US coast from Florida through the North Carolina Outer Banks from Thursday evening through Saturday. It could make landfall at any point and all areas should be on guard.

    Snow.

    Look some people like it. Others well not so much. They would rather deal with their house going sideways than shovel on more inch of snow.

    What I have seen is some people move their thinking 'yeah no more snow' then realize they hate bugs and humidity more and move right back 4-5 years later.
