The president tweeted Saturday that he was monitoring Dorian and receiving frequent briefings and updates. “It is important to heed the directions of your state and local officials,” the president said, calling Dorian “an extremely dangerous storm.”: “Looking like our great South Carolina could get hit MUCH harder than first thought. Georgia and North Carolina also.
It’s moving around and very hard to predict, except that it is one of the biggest and strongest that we have seen in decades. Be safe!”“Given the strength and unpredictability of the storm, we must prepare for every possible scenario,” Gov. Henry McMaster said in a statement."We encourage all South Carolinians who may be impacted by Hurricane Dorian to be vigilant and prepare now — there is no reason for delay."Yuliya Talmazan is a London-based journalist.
