Hurricane Matthew Leaves Trail of Devastation With at Least 28 Dead Across 5 Southern States
Hurricane Matthew battered the Southeast coast for four days before weakening and veering out over the Atlantic Ocean
Sunday, leaving a trail of devastation with at least 28 dead, over 1
million homes and businesses without power today and billions of dollars
in damage.
Matthew wreaked havoc in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina and Virginia before it was downgraded to a post-tropical
cyclone Sunday as it headed east over the Atlantic.
The death toll spans all five states: at least 11 people were killed in
North Carolina, nine people including a 9-year-old boy died in Florida,
four died in Georgia, three were killed in South Carolina, and one died
in Virginia.
The storm brought winds of up to 100 mph, as much as 15 inches of rain and powerful storm surges of up to 9 feet to some areas.
Millions of people's lives were disrupted, with the evacuation of more
than 3 million coastal residents; the closing of hundreds of roads
including parts of Interstate 95 -- a major East Coast artery; the
halting of Amtrak service in the Southeast; the cancellation of thousands of airline flights.
