Floridians prepare for Hurricane Matthew
Hurricane Matthew was pounding portions of the Bahamas early this morning and is expected to intensify as it approaches Florida, potentially glancing the coastline at Cape Canaveral. More than 2 million people along the coastline as far north as Georgia have been advised to flee. The hurricane had strengthened to Category 4 by 6am. It will either hit Florida later today, pass alongside the coast, or move out to sea. At least 16 deaths have been blamed on the hurricane during its week-long march across the Caribbean.
