As of Tuesday evening, Hurricane Milton was again a Category 5 with top winds at 160 miles an hour.

Its track has shifted slightly overnight meaning Tampa may be spared a direct hit.

Landfall is expected before Thursday morning. Tampa’s mayor has issued stern warnings for those who stay saying if you stay, “you’re likely in your coffin.”

The Georgia Department of Transportation says U.S. northbound interstates have seen much more traffic than normal. That’s because millions of Florida residents are being urged to evacuate.

GDOT says volumes on I-75 northbound in South Georgia have reached as high as 342 percent above normal. Northbound I-95 near Savannah has seen similar jumps.

Flight delays and cancellations are popping up across the country because of the storm.
