Folks,
"Himmicane" Matthew bears down on us and may be a factor in Broward County. I've 
found that the US Navy has the best projection / prediction page, after all, 
they have a very vested interest in cyclones and potentially have a lots of 
assets to lose!
Please see:

http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tc_pages/tc_home.html

Make sure "Matthew" is selected, and click on "Latest ATCF Track" MAP IN THE 
LOWER LEFT for an enlarged map. See especially the inset Table listing cities 
with the predicted distance to the eye, wind level, and UTC date/time.
For example, as of noon today [16:00 UTC],
"FORT_LAUDERDALE   194 Nautical Miles on Oct 6, 0600[UTC] [02:00 AM Eastern time]."
from the upper panel, the winds will be 95 knots gusting to 115 kts at that time.

For the exceptionally curious, you can also see the raw satellite images in the 
matrix at the top of the page

Cheers and 73,
Kai Siwiak, KE4PT
