Miami Deserted as Hurricane Matthew Approaches

Description

Heavy wind and rain signaled the approach of Hurricane Matthew after it ravaged Caribbean countries earlier this week. Miami’s residents braced themselves for the storm on Thursday, taking heed of a general evacuation order from Florida Governor Rick Scott. The states of Florida and South Carolina, as well as parts of North Carolina and Georgia, have declared a state of emergency, with millions of coastal residents warned to be ready to evacuate their homes. According to Haitian authorities, at least 100 people were killed by Hurricane Matthew as a result of massive flooding and severe winds brought by the Category 4 storm as it left a trail of devastation through the impoverished island nation of Haiti earlier in the week. Thousands of people have had their homes completely or partially destroyed.
