With more than a million Florida residents ordered to evacuate due to Hurricane Irma, Gov. Rick Scott urged people to leave without delay.
“If you’re in an evacuation zone, you’ve got to get out; you can’t wait,” Scott said in an interview today with ABC News’ “Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts.
“This thing’s coming,” he warned. “It looks like it’s going to go right through the middle of our state.”
Mandatory evacuation orders have been issued for Florida’s barrier islands, coastal communities and low-lying areas across Florida, including Brevard, Broward, Charlotte, Collier, Flagler, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Indian River, Lee, Manatee, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Sarasota and St. Lucie counties.
