Hurricane Matthew: The Meteorology

Hurricane Matthew formed in the Caribbean, rapidly intensifying to a Category 5 storm. It impacted Haiti and Cuba as a Category 4 hurricane, causing significant damage. Matthew then moved through the Bahamas and near Florida, maintaining strength as a Category 3 hurricane. It made landfall in South Carolina as a Category 1 storm, causing severe flooding in the Carolinas and Virginia. The video discusses the role of climate change in such extreme weather events and the increasing impact of hurricanes as more people live near coasts.
