Hurricane Matthew Mercilessly kills Roughly 900 People in Haiti Before Coming To U.S.


The name Matthew is a good name but I don't know why Hurricane Matthew has decided to kill instead of saving souls.

  Before hitting the United States, Hurricane Matthew has killed roughly about 900 people in Haiti and displaced roughly tens of thousands Haitians in just a matter of days.






According to Reuters, Merciless "Matthew rampaged through Haiti's western peninsula on Tuesday with 145 mph (233 kph) winds and torrential rain. Some 61,500 people were in shelters, officials said, after the storm hurled the sea into fragile coastal villages, some of which were only now being contacted.


Matthew sideswiped Florida's coast with winds of up to 120 mph (195 kph) but did not make landfall there. The storm was a Category 2 on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity. Category 5 is the strongest.
There were at least four storm-related deaths in Florida but no immediate reports of significant damage in cities and towns where Matthew swamped streets, toppled trees and knocked out power to more than 1 million households and businesses. About 300,000 households and businesses were without power in Georgia and South Carolina, according to utility companies on Saturday.

Two people in Florida were killed by falling trees and an elderly couple died of carbon monoxide poisoning from a generator while sheltering from the storm inside a garage."
