MILWAUKEE — It was a close call for many passengers arriving in Milwaukee from Orlando, Florida just days before Hurricane Dorian made landfall.

"Our flight was canceled two times throughout the night. We got our first announcement or notification about 2 a.m. and then again at 5 a.m. and then we went ahead to the airport, and they said they were boarding anyway," one passenger said.

The hurricane is expected to hit parts of southern and eastern Florida in the next few days.
