Description:"Hurricane Matthew left a trail of destruction from the Caribbean to Virginia from September 29 - October 9, 2016. High winds, pounding surf, storm surge, and historic flooding led to widespread, devastating impacts along the southeast U.S. coastline. Hurricane Matthew traveled northward nearly parallel to the coast before making landfall in South Carolina. The storm produced winds in excess of 100 mph, storm surge in excess of 7 feet, and up to 20 inches of rainfall. Weather-related fatalities occurred up and down the southeast U.S. coast. The majority of fatalities were the result of flooding, making inland flooding a primary focus for this assessment"--Preface.
