A hurricane warning has been issued this morning for the northwest Bahamas as Hurricane Matthew continues its march up the Caribbean.
The hurricane warning in the Bahamas includes Bimini, Eleuthera, Grand Bahama Island, and New Providence.
In the meantime, Matthew's eye is nearing the southwest peninsula of Haiti, where it's bringing life-threatening rain, wind and storm surge.
The Category 4 storm's maximum sustained winds are near 230 km/h.
Meantime Florida Governor Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency for every county as Matthew moves closer to the state.
An advisory released last night by the National Hurricane Center shows Florida's east coast and the Florida Keys are in the storm's potential path.
