WUFT

Hurricane Matthew intensified rapidly overnight, becoming a Category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph. Meteorologist Jeff Huffman says the storm may continue strengthening today. HUffman urges all Floridians to stay informed on Matthew's next move. Matthew is the strongest hurricane to develop in the Caribbean since Rina in 2011.
