The massive Category 4 Hurricane Matthew is currently bearing down on Haiti, expected to make landfall today. Meteorologists are warning the impact could be catastrophic. The hurricane has already killed three people, including a Haitian fisherman. The storm packs 145-mile-an-hour winds. It’s expected to hit Haiti, then Cuba, and then continue barreling toward the U.S. coast, where Florida Governor Rick Scott and North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory have already declared states of emergency in anticipation. In Cuba, the U.S. military says it’s airlifting 700 employees, and some family pets, from the naval base at Guantánamo Bay, although there are still no plans to evacuate the 61 prisoners held there.
