SUMMARY: Mandatory evacuations are being implemented for the Barrier Islands off Southwest Florida, including Sanibel and Captiva, ahead of deteriorating weather conditions due to Hurricane Milton. The Sanibel Causeway, the sole road connecting Sanibel Island to the mainland, was previously damaged during Hurricane Ian in 2022. Although it has been reinforced since then, residents are urged to take the evacuation seriously as a storm surge of 6 to 10 feet is expected. Additionally, the likelihood of power outages will increase from Wednesday into early Thursday, prompting further precautions among the community.

The Weather Channel Meteorologist Felicia Combs reports from Sanibel, Florida where she said mandatory evacuations are going into place for the barrier islands on southwest Florida, off the coast of southwest Florida. Places like Sanibel Island and Captiva have mandatory evacuations going into place Tuesday night as conditions will deteriorate Wednesday ahead of Milton.

SUMMARY: The Stewpot Opportunity Center in Jackson is responding to dangerously cold temperatures by extending its hours to 22 per day and providing shelter for up to 30 people. The center ensures guests receive food, clothing, hygiene items, hot meals, showers, and rest, with activities like movies to help them stay comfortable. Director Javonda Stanton emphasizes that it is inhumane for people to be left outside in the cold, which can lead to conditions like hypothermia and frostbite. The city is also reopening a temporary shelter at Champion Gym in partnership with Shower Power for those in need.
