Hurricane Matthew weakened slightly early Saturday as it continues roaring across the Caribbean Sea on a course that put Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba in the path of its potentially devastating winds and rain.
With winds reaching 155 miles per hour, forecasters said the storm – downgraded to a Category 4 hurricane from the top Category 5 – was still powerful enough to wreck homes as islanders braced for its arrival.
The National Hurricane Center called it the strongest Atlantic hurricane since Felix in 2007, and said Matthew will be approaching Jamaica late Sunday night.
It is expected to reach the eastern part of the island on Monday.
