Abstract

Hurricane Matthew formed into a hurricane in the eastern Caribbean and rapidly intensified with peak intensity occurring in late September 2016 when the storm reached Saffir-Simpson Category 5 strength with 160 mph winds (Stewart, 2017). After leaving the Caribbean, Hurricane Matthew moved northward and remained close to the coasts of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina and caused elevated water levels, large waves, and extensive coastal erosion.
