News and updates are popping up so quickly on the news and social media that it's hard to keep up... none of them are encouraging.
Here is a video that give a good overview: http://www.local10.com/weather/hurricane/hurricane-matthew-remains-powerful-category-4-storm-sustained-winds-at-145-mph
The hurricane has already taken lives in Haiti and it hasn't even arrived. Towns in southern Haiti have started to flood and people in Cayes are literally watching the hurricane approach land. It is only moved at 5mph so they are estimating that it will take more than 24 hours to pass over Haiti.
Pastor Luc and the kids at H2H have already taken shelter in the home and are ready to wait it out.
This is a view from Cayes this afternoon (don't know who took the picture... sorry for not giving credit!)
UPDATE: apparently the source who published this picture made a mistake - this is Hurricane Matthew approaching Jamaica, not Haiti. I was relieved when I first heard this... and then I realized that the Hurricane is passing closer to Haiti than Jamaica :( Sorry for being part of the confusion!
