have been ordered in parts of florida's east coast. officials there urging everyone in the path of hurricane dorian to keep their guard up and prepare for the possibility of a powerful storm making landfall. jeff paul is live in cocoa beach, florida, with more on that part of the story. hi, jeff. >> reporter: yeah, laura, it's still very sunny and beautiful out here, but you can probably tell the wind has definitely picked up, and because of that you're not seeing as many people out here on the beach. but there still are those diehards out here, but they are pulling out their surfboards and boogie boards, taking advantage of the higher than normal surf. further over you can see some of these people are kite surfing. it's not normally this windy out here. and a little further down, that's what emergency officials are hoping people pay attention to, those are the double red flags. that was not like that yesterday, that means they don't want anybody in the water. now, throughout the town today and when we were driving around, you could definitely tell there were fewer people out and about.
