Lots of people took the last flights out of Florida Tuesday by flying into Boston before Hurricane Milton hits.
“If you got a place to go, you get out of town,” said Joseph Rubin, flying in from Fort Myers.
“We live in a flood zone and when we saw the path of the hurricane, we felt that we had to go immediately,” said Ryan Aravint, from St. Pete.

Many of them secured their homes and are hoping for the best while staying with family and friends in the Boston area.
“You put your storm shutters down, you lock up, expect you’re going to have a loss of power, and hope for no flooding and no wind damage,” said Rubin.
“Brought everything inside, brought everything from the first floor to the second floor, we’re only about 11 feet above sea level so a lot of prep,” said Scott MacDonald, from Tampa.
Many Florida residents are not taking any chances after already experiencing the devastation of Hurricane Helene just a couple of weeks ago.
