WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Milton is expected to be a major hurricane at landfall on Wednesday. The storm will weaken slightly crossing the state, but will still be a significant storm for this area.

Now is the time to review your hurricane plan. Have essential items in a kit. Know where to evacuate if you're in an evacuation zone.

I recommend NOT putting up shutters until a Hurricane Watch is issued. That is 48 hours before hurricane winds arrive. That is flexible for older home owners and owners of second story homes.

When a Hurricane Warning is issued all preparations should be close to completion.

Bring in Halloween decorations, potted plants, anything that could become a flying projectile.
