Over the weekend, Hurricane Matthew slammed into Florida, North and South Carolina, and Virginia, and Haiti. The storm killed nearly 900 people in Haiti and at least 15 people in the US, according to the latest estimates by Reuters and The New York Times.
Weakened but still powerful, the storm was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone Sunday morning. It's still dangerous, however, and is still packing maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.
Over a million residents were ordered to evacuate up and down Florida's east coast starting Wednesday. Approximately 900 people have been rescued in North Carolina after Hurricane Matthew hit the eastern part of the state, and that number is expected to rise as some are trapped in their homes, Governor Pat McCrory said Sunday.
Here are a few images that show the damage from the storm so far.
