States of emergency have been declared in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas as Hurricane Matthew barrels toward the Southeast coastline. More than 2 million people have been urged to evacuate their homes. The record-breaking storm has already killed at least 26 people in Haiti and four in the Dominican Republic. The storm is soon expected to hit the Bahamas and then strengthen to a Category 4 as it moves toward Florida. Meteorologists are predicting Matthew could be the strongest hurricane to hit the United States since Wilma in 2005. Hurricane Matthew was the first Category 4 hurricane to hit Haiti in 52 years. The storm displaced thousands across a country still recovering from the devastating 2010 earthquake. Haiti’s presidential election scheduled for Sunday has been postponed indefinitely. Many meteorologists are saying climate change has intensified Hurricane Matthew because warmer ocean waters help create stronger hurricanes. We’ll have more on Hurricane Matthew after headlines.
