UAE nationals in Florida have been transported to Washington DC after Tropical Storm turned into a powerful hurricane threatening the US coast.
The UAE Embassy in Washington DC said the evacuation plan transported 141 Emiratis out of Florida.
Due to the difficulty of finding commercial flights to Washington DC, the Embassy's Emergency and Crisis Committee also chartered flights for the evacuation of some UAE nationals.
