Channel 2′s Michael Seiden was in Henry County on Tuesday afternoon where he found heavy traffic in the northbound lanes of Interstate 75, many of the cars with Florida plates.

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.”
