Rapper Vanilla Ice hunkered down in Florida and vowed Thursday to ride out Hurricane Matthew, live tweeting as the storm hit.
By Friday morning, the rapper indicated the storm had moved on from his West Palm Beach neighborhood.
It looks like a mess with debris and some flooding here but overall Palm Beach handled it very well. #HurricaneMatthew

The storm has left more than 200 dead in Haiti and prompted Gov. Rick Scott to issue a dire warning to those who think staying in their homes would be a good idea.
