2 million Americans have been urged to evacuate along the U.S. Southeast coast as Hurricane Matthew barrels to Florida. The storm, which is gaining strength, is expected to hit Southern Florida later today and move up the east coast to the Carolinas over the next few days. Twitter ( (TWTR) - Get Report ) shares are falling today after a Recode report that Google ( (GOOG) - Get Report ) will not bud to buy the company. Apple ( (AAPL) - Get Report ) is also said to probably not submit a bid to buy Twitter either. Disney, which also reportedly considered making an offer, is not going to do so according to sources who spoke with Recode. That leaves Salesforce as the most likely potential suitor although the CEO has yet to issue a firm commitment they are interested in buying the social media site. A smoking Samsung Note 7 phone has prompted an evacuation of a Southwest ( (LUV) - Get Report ) plane in Louisivlle. This is one of the replacement phones, not an original.
