(The Guardian) Here's Where Things Stand At 3am --“Extremely dangerous” Hurricane Matthew is continuing to move in a north-west direction towards the east coast of Florida at about 15-20 mph. As at the National Hurricane Center’s 2am EDT update, Hurricane Matthew was a Category 3 storm with winds of 120 mph, and was 45 miles east of Vero Beach and about 80 miles south-east of Cape Canaveral. Strong winds and heavy rain have already been reported along the Florida coastline, and conditions are expected to deteriorate further as the storm makes landfall later this morning. More than 200,000 people are without power. Hurricane Michael is forecast to near or over the east coast of the Florida peninsula through Friday night and near or over the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina on Saturday. It is expected to weaken over the next 48 hours but forecast to be a “powerful Category 3 hurricane” as it nears the coast of Florida. Authorities in the Bahamas are yet to assess the extent of the damage caused by Michael as it passed through on Wednesday and Thursday, but many without generators are still without power. The death toll in Haiti is widely being reported as more than 340 people and aid agencies are prioritising clean water and sanitation to prevent the spread of disease in amidst the widespread devastation. |

(BBC News) Fears for Florida's 'Space Coast' --If Hurricane Matthew makes landfall, Cape Canaveral could be in line for a direct hit, experts have warned. "Billions of dollars of facilities and equipment are at risk at Kennedy Space Center and nearby bases, which have never before experienced a major hurricane," Jeff Masters of the Weather Underground website earlier wrote. Reuters reports that some 116 employees are in the Kennedy Space Center's Launch Control Center, braced for a possible landfall. "We've had some close calls, but as far as I know it's the first time we've had the threat of a direct hit," a NASA spokesman said. A retired NASA shuttle pad that SpaceX plans to use to launch its Falcon 9 rockets is located very close to the Atlantic Ocean, CBS News reports. |
