(AFP) Hurricane Matthew churned across the Caribbean, nearing Haiti with devastating force early Tuesday after claiming its first victims in the impoverished island nation.

The most menacing storm in nearly a decade, Matthew buffeted Haiti's southern coast with strong winds, as rising sea levels caused extensive flooding among the area's flimsy homes and buildings that have left residents exposed to natural disaster.
