Highways leading out of Florida are jammed for miles as residents evacuate the Sunshine State before Hurricane Milton lands this week.
Since Hurricane Milton was upgraded to a Category 5 storm, millions of residents have packed up their things to exit the state, only to be met with gridlock traffic.
Hillsborough County in the Tampa Bay Area has ordered evacuations among its residents.
Hillsborough County Fire Chief Jason Dougherty, while ordering residents to evacuate, gave an eerie warning, “If you remain there, you could die. My men and women could die trying to rescue you. They are heroes, but please do not put them in that situation.
