Florida is experiencing mass evacuations as Hurricane Milton nears for landfall.

Right now, 51 counties are under a state of emergency just days after many returned to their homes following Hurricane Helene.

Governor Ron DeSantis said 1.2 million gallons of diesel and gas are currently en route to the state. Authorities are also using buses and even ride sharing services to shuttle residents to inland shelters.

Scripps News Meteorologist Scott Withers is tracking Milton and has more from Tampa, Florida.
