STORYLINE:
The National Weather Service says that Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall Wednesday night and that much of the west coast of Florida is at great risk no matter where it hits.
A storm surge as high as 12 feet is forecast for Tampa Bay and up to 15 feet for points farther south between Sarasota and Fort Myers. Officials sounded urgent warnings for residents to evacuate inland.
About 1,000 people were at a school turned shelter in West Bradenton, Florida on Wednesday, waiting out the storm.
Mary Ann Fairman was there with a friend and said she was scared.
"I’m in an evacuation center and there are over 1,000 people here, it’s kinda scary."
Tom and Phyllis Persson wanted to stay close to their home in Bradenton rather than go too far, hoping to get back to whatever is left of their home quicker.
"Everybody’s worried about the same thing. You know, if you have a home to come back to," said Tom Persson.
