Hurricane-ravaged Florida is bracing for another round of storm surges and damaging winds as the potentially catastrophic Hurricane Milton barrels toward the state’s west coast.

Treasure Island lies directly in the storm’s expected path, putting residents like Chuck Fuller on high alert after already dealing with the wrath of Hurricane Helene.

Fuller told Fox News early Tuesday that he plans to evacuate before the storm makes landfall and urged others to “get out” as well.

“There’s not much we can do… We’ve never seen a storm of this magnitude. They said it’s probably been over 100 years,” he told Fox & Friends First co-host Carley Shimkus.

“One of the most terrible reasons for the loss of life is drowning,” he continued, speaking of the threat of a storm surge. “So please go out and be safe.”

Residents of the Sunshine State are making their way inland to shelters or safer areas in other states, taking over highways as they heed warnings to flee.

The Fuller area, already hit by Hurricane Helene late last month, is now dealing with devastation, sewage in the streets and mounting pressure to do what they can to avert the damage Milton could cause.

“I have a warning for those who may see this and are still on the barrier islands. We’ve become very complacent because over the years the storms have come in and (there wasn’t) much damage, maybe a little water. We have never had water in our house, but we may have had some wind damage. The first year we moved the cars, nothing happened and so on, so you get complacent,” he said.

The projected track of Hurricane Milton indicates that it will likely impact most of the Florida peninsula.

“But I can tell you: listen to the advice of the officials and leave, because we have no idea (what will happen).”

Preparation for Millton included boarding up houses, building barricades with sandbags and doing “a lot of praying,” Fuller said, adding that after Helene, the area cannot afford to “take any risks.”

Milton jumped to category five on Monday before returning to category five four storm hours later. The storm is expected to make landfall late Wednesday.
