Florida residents urged to 'get out' as Hurricane Matthew roars in
A strengthening Hurricane Matthew is steaming towards Florida with winds of 140mph as hundreds of thousands of people board up their homes and flee inland to escape the most powerful storm to threaten the Atlantic coast in more than a decade.
Florida governor Rick Scott urged the 1.5 million people living in evacuation zones in his state, its skies already darkening from the deadly storm's outer bands of rain, to "get out".
