BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
With Hurricane Milton forcing evacuations across Midwest Florida, many are heading to Tallahassee for safety.

The city is stepping up to help offer shelter, resources, and help to those arriving.

Places like the Historic Museum are offering snacks and charging stations to evacuees.

“Because they are saying that this is going to be a category four possible 5. we know that area is going to get completely demolished, and being 10 miles away, we figure the winds are going to go out and probably lose electricity, so we took a trip up here to Tallahassee," said New Port Richey native Richard Persaud Sr.

The Florida Historic Capitol is free and open to the public for the rest of the week.
