tonight Florida bracing for impact as hurricane Milton begins to come ashore. Milton's outer band bringing multiple tornadoes today with more likely to come as the storm gets closer to landfall. Forecast to hit as at least a category 3 hurricane in just a few hours. The National Weather Service is warning that Milton could be one of the most destructive hurricanes to ever hit West Central Florida. Millions have been urged to evacuate. Long lines of cars and backed up traffic from the areas expected to be hit the hardest showing that many have been listening. We were glad that people chose to leave seeing where they lived and were evacuating to get to safety. But even for those who decide to leave challenges on the way. More than 1700 gas stations in Florida were already out of fuel Wednesday morning. I would prefer to be at the house and to be standing in the middle of the street somewhere where that's just as dangerous. And even those who feel confident in their decision to stay admit there's only so much you can

prepare for a storm like what else is kind of having you and your family a little bit worried right now. Uh, definitely a north move in the track. You know, if it keeps coming north, um, you know, we could be in trouble. And officials reminding those that stay that when the worst of the storm hits, they will be on their own. When you make that call for help, I can't imagine what you would feel when you ask for help and it's too dangerous and help's not coming. Don't be that person.
