Hurricane Dorian gains strength as Florida braces for hit
MIAMI - Florida’s governor on Friday urged residents in the state to stock up on at least a week’s worth of food, water and medicine and to prepare to lose power and cellphone service for days after Hurricane Dorian makes landfall early next week.
Florida is under a declaration of emergency, and DeSantis has activated 2,500 National Guard troops, with another 1,500 on standby. No evacuations were ordered as of early Friday, but many were expected as the storm’s path becomes clearer. Forecasters predicted the storm would grow more ferocious as it gained fuel from the warm waters off Florida and be near the state’s peninsula late on Monday.If, as expected, the storm reaches Category 4 over the weekend, its winds will blow at more than 130 mph . There was concern it could slow from its current 12-mph march across the map, giving it more time to intensify.Hurricane Dorian approaches the coast of Florida, U.S. in this August 29, 2019 NASA handout satellite image.
President Donald Trump on Thursday canceled a planned weekend trip to Poland, sending Vice President Mike Pence in his place, so he can make sure resources are properly directed for the storm. Gasoline prices at the pump are not expected to spike because of the storm, said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.com.
