Weather authorities and officials began banging the drum for potentially life-threatening issues Friday as new forecasts showed Hurricane Matthew could ride closer and higher up the South Carolina coast before turning out to sea.

According to an advisory released Friday by the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Matthew is "hugging" the central Florida coast, and is projected to slowly move northward and be "near or over" the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina on Saturday.

1. It seems different for hurricane to head SOUTH like that… is it possible it'd gain strength?

And punch into the coastline again?

Or stall out and pump water into the coastal areas?

2. Loop de loops are not unheard of - not likely to gain strength though...

...as it heads out to sea

Even if it makes back to the Bahamas in one piece as a storm at all. Many days away for that.
