Hurricane Matthew

I read an article by the Associated Press on CNBC called "Hurricane Matthew Has Rapidly Strengthened into a Powerful Category 4 Storm."  The hurricane is producing wind speeds of 140 miles per hour and keeps getting stronger.  A hurricane watch has now been issued for Jamaica.  The storm is located about 75 miles north of Punta Gallinas, Colombia and moving west-southwest at 9 miles per hour.  The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami expects the storm to be in Jamaica by Sunday. 

I have watched hurricane coverage on The Weather Channel and they look very disastrous.  They always bring lots of strong wind, heavy rains and strong storm surge from the ocean which makes really big waves.  I hope that Hurricane Matthew goes out to sea and loses its strength.  This would save lots of people's lives and not tear up cities and towns along the ocean.  The fastest man in the world is from Jamaica and I hope that Usain Bolt can make it out before the storm hits his country.
