“I’m rooting for a direct hit on Mar a Lago!” Campbell, the first woman to be Canada's prime minister, tweeted on Thursday. Her tweet came in response to another post that warned Florida was at risk as the hurricane strengthens.

I’m rooting for a direct hit on Mar a Lago! https://t.co/cA14KQvjpC — Kim Campbell (@AKimCampbell) August 28, 2019

Campbell apologized for the tweet on Friday, saying it was a throw-away line, that she should have known better and that she was deleting the tweet.

I have deleted my tweet about the hurricane & Mar a Lago and sincerely apologize to all it offended. It was intended as sarcasm-not a serious wish of harm. Throwaway lines get a life of their own on Twitter. I shd know better. Mea culpa. — Kim Campbell (@AKimCampbell) August 30, 2019

Earlier, Campbell had tweeted that she did not wish for anyone to be harmed by the hurricane.

Campbell, who has frequently criticized Trump over the issue of climate change, said not everyone in the hurricane's path would be in a "fortress" like Mar-a-Lago and that Trump would "not bear the cost of his immoral abdication of the climate challenge."

And no, I don’t wish anyone, anywhere, the horror of being hit by a Category 4 Hurricane. But not everyone can have the protection of a fortress like Mar a Lago, built to be hurricane-proof! Trump will not bear the cost of his immoral abdication of the climate challenge! https://t.co/yvSWZuuTLL — Kim Campbell (@AKimCampbell) August 29, 2019

Campbell served as Canada's prime minister for a little more than four months in 1993.

Florida is bracing for the Category 2 hurricane, which is threatening to do heavy damage on the state.

"It's going to impact the entirety of Florida, and residents need to be prepared," acting FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor told CNN on Friday.

He said people in Florida should prepare immediately given the storm's 110 mph winds.

"So, take the time now ... to understand what your local risk is," he told CNN.

According to CNN, the hurricane is expected to hit Florida within the next three days. By that time, Dorian could have already evolved into a Category 4 storm.

The Tampa Bay Times reports that Dorian is expected to make landfall around Melbourne, Fla., which is 115 miles away from the president’s resort in Palm Beach.

Trump has warned Florida residents to prepare as the hurricane heads toward the coast.

"Hurricane Dorian looks like it will be hitting Florida late Sunday night," he tweeted Thursday.

"Be prepared and please follow State and Federal instructions, it will be a very big Hurricane, perhaps one of the biggest!" he added.
