What's Next For Hurricane Matthew On Florida's Atlantic Coast

After devastating Haiti earlier this week, Hurricane Matthew is now scraping the coast of north-central Florida.

Powerful wind and heavy rain have already prompted mass evacuations and left hundreds of thousands without power. Matthew was downgraded overnight to a Category 3 storm, but is still dangerous, with winds offshore reaching up to 120 miles per hour.

The system appears to be moving north toward Georgia and South Carolina, where residents are preparing for the worst.
