The president advised resident to listen carefully to what local authorities are saying in other to secure their safety. "You should be paying attention ... This thing is going to keep on moving north ... Pay attention to what your local officials are telling you.".

Though, its quite unclear the possible impact of what the damages is going to be, but according to president Obama, this is no doubt a scene that will be continually be monitored as the day passes by in ascertaining its impacts.   "we are still on the front end" of Hurricane Matthew. He said that it won't be clear for "three, four, five days, what the ultimate impacts will be."
