SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton has driven many evacuees to Georgia, particularly to Victoria Campground in Cherokee County. Most evacuees are from Florida, including Dawn and Dan L., who left with their dogs due to the impending storm. Concerned about gas availability during their journey, they chose routes to avoid heavy traffic. Fellow evacuees, Ana and her husband, faced their own challenges returning to a flooded home after cleaning up from Hurricane Helen. With uncertainty about their return and fuel shortages affecting approximately 8,000 gas stations, Governor Ron DeSantis is coordinating efforts to supply gasoline. Fox 5 News offers resources for those in need.

Many Floridians, like Dawn and Dan Ell, have found refuge in Georgia campgrounds as the powerful Category 3 Hurricane Milton made landfall along the Gulf Coast.

SUMMARY: Florida is on high alert as Hurricane Milton approaches landfall, which is expected to occur within hours near Tampa Bay or Sarasota. Governor Ron DeSantis has reported storm surge warnings across the state‘s west coast, with significant impacts already felt, including at least 10 tornadoes in south-central Florida. President Biden urged residents to find shelter as evacuation opportunities close. Meteorologist Chris Hulan noted that Milton is currently about 50 miles from Sarasota and moving north-northeast at 15 mph. The storm is forecasted to weaken after landfall tonight but will affect parts of Central Florida and the Georgia coastline with tropical storm warnings in place.

The now category 3 hurricane could make landfall late Wednesday night. 11Alive believes that news shouldn’t be a one-way conversation, but a dialogue with you. Join in, share your thoughts and connect with new perspectives.

SUMMARY: The hearing for Jose Ibba, accused of killing nursing student Leak and Riley, has been postponed to November 1st. Initially scheduled for this Friday, the hearing primarily aimed to discuss DNA testing. As of last week, neither the defense nor the prosecution had received the DNA evidence data. State prosecutors previously announced they had a thumbprint from Riley’s phone, DNA from her fingernails, and video footage linking Ibba to the crime. However, Ibba’s attorney argues that the DNA evidence is unreliable.

A hearing has been postponed for the man accused of killing nursing student Laken Riley. The hearing for Jose Ibarra was originally set for this Friday to discuss DNA testing.
