In the last twenty-four hours, authorities have urged more than two million people on the East Coast to evacuate due to the incoming Hurricane Matthew, which has already pummeled Haiti and Cuba.

It will be the biggest mandatory evacuation since 2012, when Hurricane Sandy hit the area. The hurricane could hit Florida as early as tomorrow, and has already killed fifteen people. It is a Category 3 storm, moving northwest at 12 miles per hour, with winds up to 125 miles per hour. This morning, Matthew was 30 miles southwest of the Bahamas and 215 miles from West Palm Beach in Florida.

Florida is the biggest concern right now in regards to the storm’s projected track. It is said to have the potential for disaster not seen since Hurricane Andrew, which hit the Florida coast in 1992. Governor Rick Scott addressed 1.5 million residents this morning, saying, “This is serious; don’t take a chance. A small movement [of the storm] could mean a lot. That’s why we have to prepare for a direct hit. So again, if you need to evacuate, and you haven’t, evacuate. This storm will kill you. Time is running out.” These evacuation orders are in place from Miami all the way north to the Florida-Georgia border. Ford Lauderdale and other major airports are all beginning to close.

The storm is predicted to take a sharp turn after hitting the Carolinas, suggesting the Tri-State area will not likely see the effects of Hurricane Matthew.
