CNN —Ahead of Hurricane Milton, many families in Florida were hunkering down in their homes or packing up their belongings to evacuate.
She said she tried to get into multiple hurricane shelters, but the ones nearby were all full, and others were five hours away.
“You can’t get to any of the hurricane shelters if you have a car that barely drives and you have no gas money to put in it,” said Jessica.
“So, it’s just like you’re stuck with your fingers crossed with two children.”Unfortunately, Jessica’s experience during Hurricane Milton was not unique.
