A Fox News anchor made startling predictions about the destruction Hurricane Matthew may cause as it continues along the east coast of America.

Popular presenter Shep Smith used strong words to implore Florida residents to evacuate before disaster strikes.

He said: "This moves 20 miles to the west, and you and everyone you know are dead — all of you — because you can't survive it.

"It's not possible unless you're very, very lucky. And your kids die, too."
