Florida residents were urged this morning to stay away from windows and doors as Hurricane Matthew’s howling wind and driving rain pummeled the state, at the start of what is expected to be a ruinous, day long battering of the Southeast coast.
The strongest winds of 120 mph were just offshore, but Matthew’s wrath still menaced more than 500 miles of coastline and 26 million Americans.
At 7am, the western edge of Matthew’s eyewall – the most dangerous part of the storm – was brushing Cape Canaveral where a U.S. Air Force Station and NASA’s $11 billion Kennedy Space Center are located.
