President Trump on Wednesday said Hurricane Florence, a powerful Category 4 storm barreling toward the East Coast, is “even bigger” than officials expected and warned residents to "get out of its way." “Hurricane Florence is looking even bigger than anticipated,” Trump tweeted. "Florence is a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale," it noted. While some weakening is expected on Thursday, Florence is forecast to be an extremely dangerous major hurricane as it approaches the U.S. A day earlier, Trump was criticized by Democrats after he touted the “incredibly successful” response to the back-to-back hurricanes that struck Puerto Rico last year.
