Hurricane Matthew heads toward islands

People in the Dutch Caribbean islands reinforced their homes and stocked up on emergency supplies Thursday as Hurricane Matthew took a rare turn through the southern Caribbean ahead of an expected shift to the north. Matthew was expected to pass to the north of the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, before shifting on a course predicted to take it toward Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti over the weekend. The government of Colombia also issued a tropical storm watch for its coast from Riohach to the Venezuelan border. Matthew passed over the eastern Caribbean on Wednesday, causing at least one death in St. Vincent.
