Reporter: Hurricane Matthew is strengthening. GOV. RICK SCOTT (R)
Florida: The storm will kill you.
Time is running out.
We don\'t have much time left.
TV anchor: it can really pop anywhere between Miami and Georgia.
Reporter: They really hope people don\'t get out of the way.
Scott: We\'re going to have massive damage that we haven\'t seen in years.
US President Barack Obama: You can fix the property at any time.
If you lose your life, you will not be able to recover it. (END VIDEO CLIP)
Carl azuz, cnn student news anchor: more than 2 million people in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina have been told to enter the interior as Hurricane Matthew rushes to the United StatesS. Southeast.
When we put the show together, it was a major level 4 storm.
Scientists like this flying over it on a plane can make measurements.
Matthew\'s sustained wind speed last night was 140 miles per hour, and the system could be damaged in a disastrous way.
It left behind death and destruction from St. Lucia to the dominican Republic to Haiti.
At least 113 people have died in the three countries, and more than 100 people have died in Haiti alone.
The United Nations says this is the biggest humanitarian event in the Caribbean since 2010.
In southeastern Cuba, dozens of houses were reportedly washed away and the Bahamas was hit directly.
Matthew travels to Florida and is expected to land early Friday morning.
But the forecasters are not sure.
Its exact path is uncertain.
In addition to the wind that can tear down the walls, one aspect of a hurricane that is so dangerous for coastal communities is the storm, which blows to the wall of seawater on the shore. (

CNN correspondent sara ganim: here, this is an article that represents a rough estimate of what a storm might look like in a category 2, 3, 4, and 5 hurricane storm.
Look at this. I\'m 5\'7, okay?
I don\'t even, I\'m not even as high as the second class surge estimate.
This could be a surge of 11 to 15 feet and you can see that the construction of these buildings is not much higher than this article.
The buildings are really only a few feet, and why is it only a few feet above sea level on tabby Island. (END VIDEOTAPE)(Start Video)
Subtitle: What is the name of the hurricane?
Gray: The military started naming storms after their wives and girlfriends, but none of them were public.
So, 1950, everything has changed.
At about the same time, several storms formed on the Atlantic Ocean, causing a lot of confusion. So, the U. S.
Okay, let\'s start naming the storm.
They actually started with the World War II alphabet, Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Easy.
But it also creates confusion because the name of the storm is the same every year.
It was not until 1979 that we began to alternate the names of men and women.
We recycle a list every six years.
In the Atlantic basin, we use names in English, Spanish and French.
No storm is named after a particular person.
In fact, you can\'t ask for the storm to be named after you.
The whole process is the responsibility of the World Meteorological Organization.
If the storm name is too expensive or fatal, it will be deactivated and it is not appropriate to use it in the next few years.
In fact, nearly 80 storm names have been retired since 1950.
What happens if we look at all the storm names?
Well, it happened in 2005.
We finally went to the Greek alphabet.
So, that\'s what\'s in the name.
It took a long time to get here, but like every name, every storm has its own personality. (END VIDEOTAPE)
AZUZ: turn our attention from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
We have already told you how China has established islands and military presence in the South China Sea.
This is a concern of several other countries in the region, which is seen as a challenge to the United StatesS.
China has warned its warships and aircraft to avoid the area.
China\'s influence here has only increased significantly in the past few years, but this is a problem involving Asian countries and it is expected that the next US will face this problem. S. leader. (Start Video)
CNN International correspondent Matt Rivers: Here are three reasons why China may be the next US biggest global challengeS. president.
First, three words: in the South China Sea, China\'s aggressive military expansion has intensified tensions with its neighbors. S.
Chinese troops often face off in waters critical to the global economy. Cyber-
Security is also a big problem.
China is accused of targeting the United States. S.
US government and private sectorS. businesses.
So protect top-
Secret information and intellectual property rights will be a huge challenge.
China\'s economy is also slowing sharply.
China\'s recession will be bad news for the United States. S.
China\'s largest trading partner.
If China sneezes, it\'s America. S.
Cold economy. (END VIDEOTAPE)
According to the United Nations, food waste is defined as food that people can eat safely at first, but it will not be eaten because it will be destroyed or thrown away. The U. S.
The government estimates that food waste in the United States could be as high as 40% of food supplies.
But there is a process that ensures that the rest of the food is not wasted. (Start Video)
Reporter: Americans deliver more than 30 million tons of food to landfill sites every year.
But as the saying goes, \"one person\'s garbage is the wealth of another person \"---
I really smell the treasure.
A1 organics bob yost, vice president: We\'re not dealing with beds, bathtubs and other things.
This is the taste of nature.
Reporter: Welcome to Heartland Biogas, a facility in rural Colorado that collects food waste from all over the state and converts it into electricity.
YOST: garbage from grocery stores, cafeteria, restaurants, packaging plants, meat processing, dog food or pet food manufacturing facilities, food processors, almost anywhere with foodbased waste.
Reporter: The process used in the heart zone is called anaerobic digestion. As the name implies, it is like our human digestive system. By breaking down food into energy, it is electricity in this case.
Food waste entering the facility is separated from any package, chewed into a more digestible state in 1 package in the heart zone, and mixed with bacteria.
7 million gallon storage tank.
In the process of human digestion, gas is far from the target.
Natural gas is what the heart is after.
Do you remember the taste before?
Methane is an important source of renewable energy.
YOST: We created three things: gas, liquid soil fertilizer and solid soil fertilizer similar to peat moss.
Just like the bacteria in your stomach.
Bacteria eat organic matter and then produce gas.
It\'s no different from what we do.
Reporter: Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas.
So, when food rot in a landfill and delivers gas to the atmosphere, it\'s bad news for the environment.
In fact, if global food waste is a country, it will be the world\'s third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
Methane made in biogas digesters in the heart is pumped into interstate pipelines, where it can serve as a source of clean renewable energy while reducing harmful emissions.
YOST: the vast majority of the materials we deal with are initially landfill or disposed.
We can process up to 1,200 tons a day.
The scale of the landfill is really good.
If you do 240,000 tons of landfill every year, that\'s a lot of waste.
This is a very effective and impactful way of getting that resource. (END VIDEOTAPE)
We have robots in the middle.
The small machine was made by a Japanese car manufacturer.
It should be a dialogue partner, so it\'s OK if it comes back.
To keep in touch, it will make you $400 a month plus $3.
This one on the other paw can use one-
About 120 of the time cost of barks--I mean, bucks.
This is a way to bring the comfort of a pet to people without feeding, walking, grooming or potty --training.
So, will it be short?
Pet industry of circuit?
Can we look forward to seeing our best friends zombie Weiler, Chiperkes, battery hounds, Irish sensors, Bixiong fuses, and Circuit of the Italian hound?
If this happens, each breed will become a toy. I`m Carl Azuz.
Hope you have a good weekend.
