Hurricane Matthew following the coastline of the southeastern United States on October 7, 2016.
Next on Matthew’s target list: the United States. Matthew was the first major hurricane on record to make landfall in Haiti, Cuba, and the Bahamas. After striking Haiti, Matthew, still a major hurricane, barreled through Cuba and the Bahamas, leading to additional-though fewer-fatalities. As of mid-October, more than 1,000 people were listed as killed by the storm in Haiti alone. It was the first time a Category 4 storm made landfall in Haiti since 1964.Įntire towns were destroyed, bridges washed away, and communities left stranded. Matthew made landfall over the southern peninsula of Haiti on October 4 as a Category 4 storm, delivering 20 to 40 inches of rain in southern Haiti. Devastation in the CaribbeanĪfter reaching Category 5 strength, Matthew abruptly changed course, heading north with Haiti and Cuba in its direct path. All of which was even more unusual as it took place in the eastern Caribbean Ocean, a location which has been dubbed a “hurricane graveyard”-a place where low-pressure systems have routinely failed to develop into hurricanes. Matthew was the first Category 5 storm in the Atlantic since 2007, and it was the lowest latitude Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic on record.
In the 24 hours after September 30, Matthew intensified from a storm with 80mph winds to a Category 5 behemoth with 160mph winds. After this relatively slow start, Matthew grew extremely strong, extremely quickly. The storm became named a Category 1 hurricane on September 29. Matthew became a tropical storm close to the Lesser Antilles on September 28, and for several days tracked west as a tropical storm.
