SUNSHINE STATE COULD BE “UNINHABITABLE FOR WEEKS …”

The latest update for Hurricane Matthew is pretty close to a worst-case scenario for the Sunshine State …

Unlike storms that barrel inland at a specific location, this category four monster is poised to make a potentially devastating run up Florida’s east coast beginning late Thursday and lasting through the early morning hours on Saturday.

“This is going to kill people,” Florida governor Rick Scott said of the storm, urging residents to “evacuate, evacuate, evacuate.”

Matthew is currently packing maximum sustained winds of 140 miles per hour as it marches toward Florida – with hurricane-force winds extending outward sixty miles from its center.

“Some additional strengthening is possible,” forecasters at the National Hurricane Center warned.

Nonetheless, S.C. governor Nikki Haley is continuing to urge the 1.1 million residents who live along the Palmetto State’s 187-mile coastline to evacuate immediately.

Thus far only 175,000 people have heeded Haley’s warning …
