If you're a Swiftie in Florida, you might be wondering if there's any chance Hurricane Milton could possibly come between you and your favorite gal. Maybe you were planning to take the Taylor Swift Brightline train down from Orlando to catch the star as she graces Miami for three consecutive nights next weekend. Though there's not much in the way of good news when it comes to Milton right now, there could be a bright side for those planning to attend Taylor Swift's Eras tour in Miami.
The latest Hurricane Milton projections are forecasting landfall in Sarasota on Florida's west coast tonight, cutting through the center of the state as it tracks northeast. Though Miami is under a tropical storm warning, Southeast Florida will most likely be spared from any major impacts, with some rain and wind in the forecast. Miami International Airport is currently operational with no plans to close. Schools are closed today and Thursday but are expected to reopen this Friday, October 11.
