Officials warn there may be people who want to flee Hurricane Milton and are left to fend for themselves.
Emergency services officials did not hold back in assessing the damage Milton could bring, going so far as to underline the storm's deadly potential on helpless coastlines. It reminds residents of the devastation caused by Hurricane Helen a few weeks ago.
'This is it, folks,' Emergency Management Director Cathy Perkins said at a news conference Wednesday morning.
'It's going to be a knockout, people who got hit during Hurricane Helen. You have to get out, get out now.'

Just hours before Hurricane Milton made landfall, a large tornado barreled toward I-75 in Florida.
Rescue teams are now rushing to the scene after the tornado overturned cars and collapsed houses.
Tom lived with his son Connor, whom he adopted with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, in the apartment (pictured together in 2012).
Tom's multi-million dollar penthouse apartment features a Private 39-foot lap pool on actor's rooftop.
As per the 2018 plans, the rooftop will include a 'pool garden', 'pool kitchen' and an outdoor dining area.
The penthouse occupies the top two floors of the condominium, called Skyview, and has an entire room dedicated to a flight simulator.
It also has a private entrance with a luxury paddle car lift and a private garage that can fit up to nine vehicles.
Amenities for residents of the building include a Sky Lounge community pool, a children's playroom and a lounge known as 'The Vault'.
Tom lived with his son Connor, whom he adopted with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, in an apartment until the latter moved to Scientology's religious retreat, The Sandcastle.
Connor followed in his father Tom's footsteps and became heavily involved in Scientology.
In 2018, it was revealed that he was living in a flashy sandcastle complex owned by the church, described as a 'religious retreat'.
Built in 1979, this resort-style complex was renovated in 2018 to include 62 residential rooms and 84 'auditing' rooms. Scientists are notorious for asking individual questions to point to 'areas of emotional distress'.
In contrast to the strict religious practices that take place inside, the exterior features incredible water views, a pool and hot tub, a rooftop garden, and a modest tiki-style bar.
Cruise's penthouse palace was in the works for a few years before he moved in in 2018, with reports showing billionaire scientist Moises Akami submitted development plans in 2015.
Akami reportedly wanted to offer condo units for $300,000 to $350,000 for two-bedroom, two-bathroom 1,300-square-foot units.
But in 2015, Agami's plans underwent drastic changes when the 52 planned units were suddenly reduced to 40 to make way for deluxe penthouses and private garages.
At the same time, Tom listed or sold six of his own properties in two years – including his flagship home in Beverly Hills.
In 2013, the Top Gun star put his two New York homes, a $3 million apartment and a $28 million townhouse, on the market.
In 2015 he listed his Hollywood Hills home, a Telluride, Colorado estate, a Beverly Hills mansion and a home in southern England.
