Hurricane Matthew Brings Devastation to Haiti

Description

At least 23 people have been killed as a result of massive flooding and severe winds brought by Category 4 storm Hurricane Matthew as it left a trail of devastation through the impoverished island nation of Haiti over the past few days. Thousands of people have had their homes completely or partially destroyed. The storm is moving north and its effects are expected to strike the southern coast of Florida on Thursday evening as a Category 4 storm with severe gales of up to 125 miles per hour. Even if the storm does not make landfall, which is when the eye of the hurricane passes over land, the powerful winds and torrential rain brought by the arms will cause significant damage. Florida Governor Rick Scott called for a general evacuation for residents living in the expected path of Hurricane Matthew.
