SUMMARY: Florida residents with ties to Louisville are facing the storm’s impact tonight. A woman from southern Indiana, living 20 miles from Milton’s landfall, opted to stay put. Another woman from Louisville, now in a mandatory evacuation zone in the Tampa Bay area, relocated to Orlando due to concerns of gas shortages and evacuation delays. Many were delayed in their travels as they attempted to evacuate. The storm has already caused damage to dozens of homes. In response, pop star Taylor Swift has donated $5 million to relief funds for families affected by Hurricane Milton.
