Three shelters will open in Brevard County on Wednesday morning at 9 a.m.

Palm Beach County leaders issued evacuation orders Tuesday for residents living in Zone A — a zone made up of low-lying inland areas not necessarily on the coast — as the state braces for the landfall of Hurricane Milton on Wednesday. Residents can check their evacuation zones on the county's emergency preparedness website.

Hurricane Milton is back down to a Category 4 storm—after fluctuating between Categories 4 and 5—and is moving across the Gulf of Mexico toward Florida, where millions have been told to evacuate as forecasters warn it could be be “one of the most destructive hurricanes on record” for the west-central part of the state.
