Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is warning residents along the state's Atlantic coast that "we're not out of the woods yet."
He says some forecast models still bring powerful Hurricane Dorian close to or even onto the Florida peninsula along with "life-threatening storm surge and hurricane force winds."
DeSantis says that because of the uncertainty on Dorian's path people need to stay vigilant.
In his words: "Floridians on the east coast need to be prepared. If you have a plan, stick to your plan. If you haven't made preparations, please do so."
The governor also says he spoke with President Donald Trump, who promised to provide any help Florida needs.
DeSantis spoke at a briefing at the Florida emergency operations center in Tallahassee.
