“Many people living in the area stay in their homes and drown [tulviin]. It’s not worth it. The house can be rebuilt and the goods can be replaced, so it’s worth leaving the city,” said Tylenda.

Also A resident of the city of Fort Myers Linda Husz told for NPRthat Milton’s warnings have been heeded. Now, a large part of them, who have stayed in their homes during the previous hurricanes, are going to evacuate.

“My home is here, and I want to stay and guard it.”

Husz said that he was prepared for the approaching hurricane by protecting the windows of his house with hurricane shields. He also has a generator.
