3:30Now PlayingNick Ferrari hears from Chris Hall of 606 Storm Chasing, who is in Tampa Bay as Hurricane Milton bears down on Florida.
The hurricane is closing in on Florida as thousands evacuate from the state before what some are calling an ‘unsurvivable’ storm.
People streamed out of the Tampa Bay region on Tuesday as Hurricane Milton strengthened on its approach.
After weakening slightly, Milton regained strength on Tuesday afternoon to become a Category 5 storm again with winds of 165mph. It could make landfall on Wednesday night in the Tampa Bay area, which has a population of more than 3.3 million people.
Latest predictions suggested it will hit in the less populated areas south of Tampa, but forecasters said "it is critical to remember that even at 24 hours out, it is still not possible to pinpoint an exact landfall location."
The 11 Florida counties under mandatory evacuation orders are home to about 5.9 million people, according to estimates from the US Census Bureau.
