President Donald Trump on Aug. 30 declared a state of emergency for Florida, allowing federal aid to flow to state and local response efforts amid the threat posed by Hurricane Dorian, which is slated to hit the state next week.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) on Aug. 30 said Dorian is a strong Category 2 storm with 110 mph winds, but it is expected to further strengthen to a Category 4 before it makes landfall on the east coast of Florida.
