TicToc Tonight

Greetings, TicToc readers! TGIF. Here's what you need to know before the long weekend.

But first...

A hurricane heads to Florida

Hurricane Dorian reached major hurricane status as it heads toward Florida, with the potential to stall near the coast and bring a prolonged period of wind, rain and storm surge.

  • The hurricane is currently a Category 3, but it's expected to turn into a Category 4.
  • The Sunshine State is expected to get 130 mph winds.
  • Over the past two decades, hurricane seasons have been getting stronger and stronger.

Highly quotable

"We recommend 7 days of food and medicine and water." Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis urged his fellow Floridians to be prepared for Dorian.

"This is a down payment." California announced free two year community college for first-time students.

"Karachi stands in solidarity with Kashmir." Demonstrators in Pakistan took to the streets Friday to show support for the people of Kashmir.

$ignificant figures
