  • Hurricane Matthew Ravages Charlotte

    Multiple houses were severely damaged and thousands of residents were left without electricity after Hurricane Matthew ripped through Charlotte in North Carolina on Sunday. No casualties were reported but numerous houses sustained severe damage in the storm. Trees were uprooted and fell onto houses and power lines, destroying property and snapping electricity wires like twigs. Emergency services have been dispatched to Charlotte to examine the situation and begin clearing up the damages. Despite the fact that Charlotte was spared the worst rain and wind of Hurricane Matthew, other people across the state suffered worse damages. More than half a million power outages were reported in North Carolina on Sunday morning and large parts of the state have been flooded, with some areas being hit by as much as 16 inches of rain throughout Saturday.

  • Hurricane Matthew Brings Devastation to Haiti

    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.
