Florida TikTok Stars Refuse to Leave Hurricane Milton’s Path [Video]

As Hurricane Milton continued its destructive journey through Florida, a host of TikTok stars living in the storm’s path refused to evacuate the area.

Milton made landfall on Wednesday evening along Florida’s Gulf Coast, unleashing powerful winds, deadly storm surge and the threat of widespread flooding across much of the state. More than 2 million customers lost power as the hurricane carved a path through central Florida, according to PowerOutages.us, and deaths were reported by police at the Spanish Lakes Country Club near Fort Pierce.

Milton, which twice reached Category 5 status while drawing energy from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, had maximum sustained winds of 120 mph when it hit Siesta Key, Florida, at 8:30 p.m., according to the National Hurricane Center.
