How will hurricane Matthew effect the election?

I think its going to help Clinton. After the hurricane goes through Hillary can make the case how she will help them rebuild if elected president. This could solidify FL, NC, and VA (VA is really already a done deal). This will help Clinton.

My only sister lives near the coast. As does my nephew. I hope it doesn't hit land.

One of the many missteps of McCrory was to take 500k from emergency hurricane funds to defend HB2. If we have a hurricane and no funds to take care of it, it will be a problem for the GOP.
