Hurricane Milton is blowing in like a drama queen on a mission, having strengthened to a feisty Category 4. Expected to make landfall Wednesday night, it promises to wreak havoc over a wide stretch of the Florida peninsula. If you’re planning a trip to the sunshine state anytime soon, you’ll need to stay on your toes.
Here’s how you can keep track of travel updates and ensure your plans are as smooth as possible:
