(WFRV) - With Hurricane Milton hurling towards Florida's coastline, people from Wisconsin checked in with Local 5 to talk about their plan for braving the storm. "We have sandbags and all the things but we're not in any evacuation zone, we're really close to one but we're not in one so the plan is to be as prepared as we can be and hope for the best," said Sally Bork who lives in Sheboygan.

For Sally Bork, what was supposed to be a couple of days in Sarasota, Florida, taking care of her dad post-surgery, turned into a disaster situation. "My dad down here in Florida was scheduled to have heart surgery tomorrow, so I had come down to help care for him after that," explained Bork. "But instead, you know, a hurricane is coming, so they canceled his surgery Monday." She told me that she grew up in Florida, so she's no stranger to the dangers of hurricanes or tropical storms. Nevertheless, her biggest concern is ensuring her family is safe and her home remains intact. Justin Berken moved to southwest Florida to escape the cold, but he never anticipated experiencing a natural disaster as dangerous as Milton. "I've experienced obviously the effects of [Hurricane] Helene recently last week, and then Irma was probably the only one that really scared me, back in 2017, but this will be the first direct hit in the Tampa area in over a hundred years," he said.

After retirement, he moved to Central Florida and said Hurricane Milton's expected path is rare. "The fact that it is honing in on Tampa Bay is significant because that will produce potentially record-breaking surge and significant water damage, flooding, not to mention the wind," he explained. "It'll weaken a bit as it moves across the peninsula, but still here in central Florida in the metro Orlando area, we're expecting winds well over 70 mph."
