<P> Around 15 : 00 UTC on October 8 , the hurricane made landfall at Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge , near McClellanville , South Carolina , with winds of 85 mph ( 140 km / h ) and a central pressure of 963 mbar ( 28.4 inHg ) , which made it the strongest to strike the United States in terms of pressure since Hurricane Isaac in 2012 , and the first hurricane to make landfall north of Florida in October since Hurricane Hazel in 1954 . Convection became displaced from the center as Matthew pulled away from land due to increasing wind shear , with the NHC declaring the system an extratropical cyclone about 200 mi ( 320 km ) east of Cape Hatteras , North Carolina , on October 9 . The remnants persisted for another day , before they were absorbed by a cold front . </P>
