IDAHO FALLS – Many Florida residents are preparing to evacuate Monday as Hurricane Milton makes its way to the state’s Gulf Coast.
Forecasters are calling the Category 5 storm “potentially catastrophic,” which is expected to touchdown late Wednesday. It’s currently in the Gulf of Mexico, according to USA Today, with sustained winds of 175 mph. It’s expected to reach peak intensity Tuesday morning then weaken to a strong Category 3 ahead of landfall.
Meanwhile, CNN reports officials have declared a state of emergency Monday afternoon.
EastIdahoNews.com Sales Manager Josh Johnson was in Orlando visiting his son. Moments before boarding a flight at Orlando International Airport Monday, he told us the terminal was packed due to numerous flight delays.
“There are people everywhere. You can’t even get in the bathrooms because the lines are so long,” Johnson says.
Johnson says the number of people trying to leave the Sunshine State has led some airlines to offer passengers money to stay behind.
