The Florida Department of Emergency Management tweeted that residents should have 7 days of supplies in preparation for Hurricane Dorian.
“A stocked supply kit has water, nonperishable food, prescription medications, flashlights and extra batteries,” the agency said in the tweet, which included a checklist.

Hurricane Dorian’s path is forecast to track just east of Puerto Rico late Wednesday and move northwest as it strengthens toward the east coast of Florida.
What kind of leader taunts their own people as they prepare for a natural disaster?
Puerto Rico deserves the full support and aid of our government as Hurricane Dorian approaches. https://t.co/yrIIbhs0df

Most concerning model right now with #TropicalStormDorian is the HWRF…which is typically one of our better hurricane models. Brand new run a little farther south…but very concerning…suggesting #Dorian may landfall near Fort Pierce, FL with 140mph winds. That’s a category 4. pic.twitter.com/tTh1vZysHI

As of Wednesday afternoon, Dorian’s maximum sustained winds were 75 mph as it tracked northwest at 13 mph near the island of St. Thomas. Hurricane-force winds extend outward about 20 miles from the center of the storm while tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles. Additional strengthening is likely in the coming days as it pulls away from the Caribbean.

All interests in Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Florida and the rest of the Southeast and Gulf coasts should continue to closely monitor the progression of Dorian, which delivered strong winds and heavy rain during its passage through the islands of Martinique, Barbados and St. Lucia.
At the very least, a swath of building seas, rough surf, heavy rain and gusty winds will spread northwestward along the path of the tropical cyclone.
5 PM UPDATE: Hurricane #Dorian gained strength with max winds now at 80 MPH. NHC says it’s expected to become a dangerous hurricane.
