As Florida prepares for Hurricane Milton, a category 5 storm, to make landfall the state has issued an executive order waiving size and weight restrictions for trucks providing aid.

Milton is expected to make landfall Thursday and when it does residents could face widespread power outages, tornadoes and storm surges over the next week.

Hurricane Milton, with wind speeds of more than 160 mph, “will be the worst storm to impact the Tampa region in over 100 years,” the National Weather Service said in an advisory.

Florida’s executive order waives size and weight restrictions for divisible loads on any vehicles transporting emergency equipment, services, supplies or personnel, or to transport FEMA mobile homes or office style mobile homes, and agricultural commodities and citrus as recommended by the Commissioner of Agriculture, and as needed to waive by special permit the warning signal requirements in the Utility Accommodation Manual to accommodate public utility companies from other jurisdictions to render assistance in restoring vital services.

The Florida Department of Transportation has also opened highway shoulders as extra lanes for smaller vehicles to hasten evacuations.
