Hurricane Matthew, the most powerful Caribbean cyclone in a decade, was moving north towards Cuba, Jamaica, and Haiti, with potential to reach the US east coast. The US National Hurricane Center reported Matthew's speed at 7 km/h after leaving Colombia and Venezuela. After reaching Category 5, it weakened to Category 4 with 230 km/h winds, making it the strongest Caribbean cyclone since Hurricane Felix in 2007.
