Although the worst of Hurricane Matthew appears to be missing Florida's heavily populated Gold Coast, power has been knocked out to more than 50,000 customers as tropical storm winds have reached the area. 

Hurricane Matthew was a Category 4 as of Thursday evening, with winds of 130 MPH. The storm was churning off the coast of Florida, headed toward the state's Space Coast. 

According to Florida Power and Light, the majority of the power outages were in Palm Beach County, as more than 30,000 customers were without power, as of 10 p.m.
