Governor Ron DeSantis’ warnings to Floridians about Hurricane Dorian grew more dire Sunday, as he also ordered the suspension of tolls.

“It’s important for people to understand if you’re in an evacuation zone and you’re given an order to evacuate, please heed that call,” DeSantis said during a briefing at the state Emergency Operations Center. “This storm at this magnitude could really cause massive destruction, and do not put your life in jeopardy by staying behind when you have a chance to get out.”
