A Bahamas National Emergency Management Authority official told the Weather Channel that the island of Nassau is bearing the brunt of the killer storm.

The official said: “We are experiencing the brunt of the hurricane force winds now so we just have to wait and see how we fare over the next five of six hours.”

Meanwhile, Category Three Matthew is set to hit southern Florida with more than two million people being told to flee their homes or risk being killed by the deadly winds.

Governor Rick Scott has warned residents that their “time is up.”


He added: “You have to evacuate now if you are in an evacuation zone.

“To everyone on Florida’s east coast, if you are reluctant to evacuate, just think of all the people the hurricane has already killed.

“You and your family could be among these numbers if you don’t take this seriously.”

More than 200,000 were left without power as the storm moved its way up the coast 20-miles out at sea.

A true picture of the devastation wreaked on the Caribbean became increasingly clear overnight.

Hundreds were killed in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba and the Bahamas.
