“This could be the worst storm to hit Florida in over a century, and God-willing it won’t be, but it’s looking like that right now,” Biden said.

Biden added that he has approved pre-landfall emergency declarations in Florida and is calling on airlines to accommodate evacuations and not engage in price-gouging.
