If you live in the expected path of Hurricane Matthew, Donald Trump says you need to get the hell out of town.
“These warnings are very, very serious – if your home is in the path of the hurricane and you are being advised to leave, you need to do so right now,” the Republican presidential nominee said in a statement released by his campaign Thursday. “Nothing is more important than the safety of your family.”
The Category 4 storm began hitting the coast of Florida on Thursday and is expected to work its way up the east coast.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the path of Hurricane Matthew, namely in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, and we encourage everyone to listen to their Governors and local emergency officials urging the evacuations of at-risk coastal communities,” Trump said.
“I would also like to offer my thanks to the law enforcement, first responders and power crews making the necessary preparations for the storm and carrying out their plans to help our communities survive and recover in the aftermath.”
“Please stay safe,” Trump added.
