HURRICANE MATTHEW
On September 25th, a tropical wave that had pushed off the African coast was named Invest 97L. As the system moved in the Atlantic, it began to organize and was named Tropical Storm Matthew three days later before becoming a hurricane as it approached the eastern Caribbean. At its peak, Hurricane Matthew reached Category 5 strength late September 30th with 160 mile per hour winds.

HURRICANE HERMINE
Since Hurricane Wilma in October of 2005, Florida had not had a hurricane make landfall in the state. On September 2nd, Hurricane Hermine changed this after making landfall in the Florida Panhandle just east of St. Marks. In the Tampa Bay Area, there was heavy rainfall, while there were high winds in northwest Florida, including Tallahassee, which caused many people to lose power. Tallahassee had not been affected by a hurricane since Hurricane Kate in 1985. From Florida, Hermine crossed into Georgia and continued moving northeast, eventually affecting South Carolina, North Carolina, New York, and New England.

As Hurricane Gustav approached the coast, Ryan was located in Syracuse, New York. Ryan traveled from Syracuse to stage for the storm in Cairo, Georgia.
