Hundreds of Hurricane Milton evacuees are on their way to or already at hotels, shelters, and RV parks in metro Atlanta. Channel 2′s Audrey Washington spoke with evacuees at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Henry County on Tuesday.

Many people are headed toward the Atlanta area to get away from the storm. The Georgia Emergency Management Agency is encouraging evacuees to travel further north into Albany, Columbus, Macon and Atlanta areas to keep them away from the storm-ravaged areas of Valdosta and Augusta because of Hurricane Helene.
