Hurricane Matthew was hitting Haiti with full force on Tuesday as the enpoverished nation struggled to cope with the category 4 storm packing winds in excess of 140mph and up to 40 inches (over a meter) of rain.
A hurricane warning is also in effect for parts of Cuba and the Bahamas. Initially it was thought that the storm would not make landfall in the United States but rather track out to sea. However yesterday evening forecasters warned that the danger is now real that Matthew will strike Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas later this week.
Anyone living in these areas, especially in coastal zones should remain updated with the latest forecast and follow the instructions of your local authorities.
