Flights between the UK and Florida have been cancelled or delayed as Hurricane Matthew hits the Sunshine State.

The most powerful storm to threaten the US Atlantic coast in more than a decade has already left hundreds dead across the Caribbean.

Florida governor Rick Scott described it as a “monster”, adding: “I’m going to pray for everybody’s safety.”
