Florida is gearing up for what could be a massive evacuation not seen since 2017 as Hurricane Milton strengthens over warm waters

Gov. Ron DeSantis said there’s still much uncertainty about Hurricane Milton, but the state is preparing to open shoulders on roadways for evacuation.

Florida is facing the threat of another major hurricane making landfall in the state, prompting state emergency officials to prepare for the evacuation of potentially more than 6 million residents as the state still recovers from its last direct hit.
