Trump to Floridians: Hurricane Dorian 'Is Building and Will Be Big'

President Donald Trump urged residents of Florida to get ready for Hurricane Dorian and warned that the storm will be "big."

His comments came in a Thursday tweet as the storm appeared headed to Florida and was predicted to be a major hurricane before making landfall.

Trump wrote: “Puerto Rico is in great shape with Hurricane Dorian taking a largely different route than anticipated. Thank you to FEMA, first responders, and all, for working so hard & being so well prepared. A great result! The bad news, Florida get ready! Storm is building and will be BIG!”
