4 dead in Florida

The United States marked its first four fatalities from Hurricane Matthew as the powerful storm lashed the Florida coast after killing more than 400 people in Haiti, officials have said. A 58-year-old woman suffered cardiac arrest in her home in central Florida’s St lucie County overnight, but high winds from Matthew —then a major Category Three storm on a five-point scale — prevented fire officials from reaching her, a fire spokeswoman told AFP.
