Florida residents are evacuating in droves as Hurricane Milton takes aim at the state, creating miles of packed traffic on highways. Landfall is expected late Wednesday night, likely as a Category 3 hurricane.
The Tampa area is bracing for a potentially record-breaking storm surge up to 15 feet. This would shatter the record-breaking storm surge just two weeks ago from Hurricane Helene.
