every easter we'd get a bunny and we'd have a chicken. my dad and his brothers, they had a bathtub and they dug it out in the backyard and made a pond. the bathtub was the foundation. i'd have a baby chicken and we'd have a little pen for my bunny rabbit because my dad and my uncle would build it. those are like those memories. i just revealed i had a chicken. now i'm never going to hear -- i had a pet chicken as a child. real quick. >> hold on. >> a lot of you are sending in your bob ross costumes. this is bob ross and the groupie. and then -- that's what she said she was. then this is nattie, '80s bob ross, paintbrush and all. they're rolling in on the twitter accounts. see, this when twitter's cute and fun. >> dylan has a look at the weather for us. >> yeah. we are focusing on hurricane matthew as this continues to be a major hurricane moving through the bahamas.

hour and more strengthening is possible. we are looking at west palm beach up to melbourne to see the significant effects from this storm with winds tomorrow morning perhaps up near 145 miles per hour. keep in mind, hurricane-force winds only extend about 25 to 40 miles outside of the center of this storm, so if this storm is only 15 miles offshore, we could see the entire east central coast of florida be raked with hurricane-force winds causing damage, causing coastal flooding. that storm surge, and also significant rainfall, too. it should weaken to a category 2 storm as it is just off the coast of georgia, and then it takes this weird loop all the way wrapping back around which we'll see what happens at that point. but we are looking again for as much as up to 12 to 15 inches of rain in florida and three to six-foot storm surge along with winds up near possibly 145 miles per hour. that's a look at the weather across the country. >> good thursday morning, everyone. starting off on the cool side

look at the recovery this afternoon. mid to upper 60s at the coast. and low 70s inland. tomorrow, even mid to upper 60s. cooler on sunday. matthew staying well south of new england. however, we may get some showers in here late saturday afternoon, and late in the day saturday night. weekend is drier and cooler and that's your latest forecast. billy and tamron? >> dylan, thank you so much. we are coming up on peak travel season which means crowded theme parks, pricey hotels and all those things we don't like. we'll reveal the secrets to saving time and hundreds of dollars on your next family getaway. state farm knows that for every one of those moments... what? this is ridiculous! there's one of these... sam, i gotta go... is this my car? what? this is ridiculous! this can't be happening! this can't be happening! oh, it's happening sweetheart. oh, it's happening sweetheart.
