Stormen Matthew

av Martin Schori

Minst 900 människor dog när Matthew drog fram över Haiti, det fattigaste landet i Amerika.

President Barack Obama har samtidigt utlyst katastroftillstånd i Florida inför orkanen Matthews ankomst. Guvernören Rick Scott har beslutat att evakuera 1,5 miljoner människor. Stormen har uppgraderats till fyra på det nationella orkancentrets femgradiga skala.

Hurricane Matthew took aim at densely populated Haiti and Jamaica on Monday, packing winds that could sweep away flimsy buildings and bringing torrential rain that could trigger deadly landslides and floods. As the powerful storm churned north, officials in both countries scrambled to protect buildings and move people out of danger zones to shelters. / AFP PHOTO / HECTOR RETAMAL / TT / kod 444

The road surface on Industrial Terrace is seen washed away due to the rain in Kingston, Jamaica before the passage of Hurricane Matthew on October 3, 2016. Hurricane Matthew claimed its first victims, officials said Monday, leaving one dead and one person missing in Haiti as it churns through the Caribbean as the most menacing storm in nearly a decade. Strong winds buffeted the southern coast of the Americas' most destitute country which is particularly vulnerable to natural disasters, in part because so many homes and buildings are flimsy. Flooding now is being reported in some areas of Jamaica as the Category 4 storm creeps closer from the south, news reports said. / AFP PHOTO / Ricardo Makyn / TT / kod 444
