At the vine street expressway and the schuylkill. Right now, Hurricane Matthew is churning off the treasured coast of florida. Hundreds of thousands of people are boarded up inside their homes or left to take shelter elsewhere. Hurricane matthew has weakened slightly to a category 3 storm but the powerful storm, howling winds and driving rain continue to pummel the coast with its strongest winds of 120 miles an hour just offshore. First alert meteorologist erika martin says matthew is expected to make landfall sometime today. The latest numbers say about 100,000 customers are long the southeast coast of florida are waking up without power. This transformer in ft. Pierce along the treasured coast exploded around 11 00 last night as whipping winds and pounding rain fell, heading north, this is video is from somewhere around orlando and daytona. You can see the rain blowing sideways. This video taken from before the worst of the winds. You can see the boat in the water. Nbc 10s Randy Gyllenhall is along the treasured coast. Hes taking a break this morning but will continue his live Coverage Later today. Late last night, he caught up with the treadwell family. Its been blustery but its not scary. Unbelievable. Ive never seen anything like this, ever. This is getting bad. Storm surges are likefully to cause massive coastal flooding, most heeding the mandatory evacuations and leaving town. Its a virtual ghosttown inside the Orlando International airport. Look at these pictures tweeted out by southwest airlines. Ticket counters covered in c plastic, eerily empty halls. Orlando international closed last night at 8 00. It is expected to be open by tomorrow. Airports are closed in ft. Lauderdale and miami. Florida travelers got plenty of warning to get out. Nbc 10 was there as a few arrived in philadelphia. Matt delucia is live at philly international. While there arent any flights this morning from florida, planes are due in some other southern states, right . Thats right, tracy and vai. You have a lot of people who tried to fly out yesterday. Here at the airport this morning, you still see operations here. Again, matthew isnt really going to affect our area. Flights are going in and out of our area into pretty much everywhere except for those destinations in florida, because, of course, those airports are shut down at this point. You also have a lot of people who are driving out of florida. A few lucky ones did get flights before the airports closed. Take a look at this terminal, the picture from orlando. Miami flights stopped around noon yesterday, a virtual ghosttown in that airport. The terminal is empty, no planes on the runways. Orlando stopped operations at 8 00 last night. More than a thousand flights have been canceled as Hurricane Matthew makes its way through florida right now. Orlando for one, not expecting to resume flight schedules until tomorrow. Miami, hoping to gradually resume flights today. Now, the cancellations force many travelers to change their plans and residents to escape the area. We spoke with a couple people who got out just in time. People from our area, like the nurse who cut their conference short. It was crazy. I think everyone was getting way ahead of their flights. I think you got there four hours early. Yes. They wouldnt let you in yet through the gates. And we have people still left behind. We were on three separate flights. I want to show you this map here that shows the flights that are in the air right now. You see all the planes, these symbols around the country. Look over in florida. This area down here. c it is pretty much empty because of all those airports that are shut down. You have miami and orlando especially up there, jacksonville as well. You see, there are flights around the gulf of mexico that are still up there. Pretty much empty, right around where that hurricane is right now. So, again, this is causing a lot of headaches for travelers throughout the florida area right now. Live at Philadelphia International airport, matt delucia, nbc 10 news. 4 35. New this morning, First Responders from philadelphia are headed to florida in what could be a disaster situation with Hurricane Matthew. Nbc 10 was in northeast philadelphia last night as fire crews pack up to head south. Members of Pennsylvania Task force one will help crews in florida with damage caused by matthew. Were preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. Were very proud and honored to be going and helping out with this incident although we hope that it will sort of make a glancing blow and it wont be as bad as some of the projections indicate. The fire commissioner says the task force is headed to florida but could redeploy northward as the hurricane moves.

While people are out, theyll be hoping to get people to register to vote. I talked to organizers about this unique approach. So being actually on the ground talking about whats going on, engaging them is key. A lot of times when you talk about voting. Youre sitting at a table, signing people up. This is boring. When youre playing music and having volunteers going up to cars and walking up to people, saying are you registered to vote . Hearing the music, being involved and engaged, it takes on a new idea. Theyll also be giving away prizes as well. There are power house tickets as well as sixer tickets up for grabs as well.
