Time was short as of Wednesday morning for Florida residents in the path of Hurricane Milton to evacuate safely.

But there are some who trying to get as up-close a view of the potentially deadly storm as possible.

Mark Robinson is a storm-chaser and meteorologist working for The Weather Network.

He explained to Newstalk 580 CFRA's The Morning Rush with Bill Carroll how he will attempt to account for his own safety as Milton moves in.
