Hermine gained strength as it roared toward Florida\u2019s Gulf Coast, churning up pounding surf that battered docks and boathouses as people braced for the first direct hit on the state from a hurricane in over a decade.<\/p>\n

\"hurricane\"<\/p>\n

Florida Governor Rick Scott warned of the danger of strong storm surge, high winds, downed trees and power outages, and had urged people during the day to move to inland shelters if necessary and make sure they had enough food, water and medicine.\u201cThis is a life-threatening situation,\u201d Mr. Scott said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a lot of risk. Right now, I want everybody to be safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
