The Canadian government has advised citizens to avoid non-essential travel to the Florida peninsula as Hurricane Milton barrels down on the west coast.
In an Oct. 8 advisory, Ottawa urged Canadians to avoid areas on the west coast of Florida, from Chokoloskee to the Suwanee River, Tampa Bay, Lake Okeechobee, and the Dry Tortugas. Travellers are also urged to avoid parts of the east coast, from Palm Beach/Martin County Line to the mouth of the St. Mary’s River, and any inland areas between the affected coastlines.
