Update: Hurricane Matthew a Potentially Catastrophic Category 4 or 5 Headed for Florida

Matthew's a Cagetory 4 right now with 140 mph winds. Looks like the eye wall is going to skim the Florida/Georgia/SC coast as it moves north, which means it won't weaken much and will cause catastrophic damage along the way. Widespread power outages for weeks predicted.

President Obama has declared a state of emergency. Get to safety everyone!
