Hurricane Matthew Update Path Today October 6 2016

Hurricane Matthew is currently battering the Bahamas after bringing a trail of destruction throughout the Carribean. Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Cuba have all been hit by the massive storm, the most powerful in the region for many years.

The storm is expected to turn westwards and strike Florida later tonight, with eastern coastal regions the most impacted by the storm, which could intensify to once again be a category 4 event.

Residents are avised to remain aprised of the latest forecasts and to not take any chances, a category 3 or 4 event is extremely dangerous and is not to be taken lightly, it represents a danger to life and property.

Preparations are also underway in Georgia and South Carolina as the current forecasts show that the storm will head after striking Florida, more than 2 million people have been evacuated from coastal areas and many schools are closed.

When will Hurricane Matthew Hit North Carolina ?

After battering Haiti, Hurricane Matthew is not taking aim at Cuba, The Bahamas and even the United States.

It had long been thought that there was no danger of the storm impacting the country and some US coastal regions would merely be effected by the outer bands with heavy rain.

This all changed on Monday evening when forecasters sharply changed their predictions, indicating that Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina are now all in danger of receiving an impact, a state of emergency has been issued and these states are preparing themselves for the worst.

Matthew has been very unpredictable so it is best to remain updated with the forecast every few hours, it is currently thought that it could impact Florida as a category 3 storm, which is something that authorities are taking very seriously.
