The center of the dangerous storm passed well away from the Keys island chain. There were no general visitor or resident evacuations ordered for Milton, according to Shannon Weiner, Monroe County’s emergency management director.

Both Key West International and Florida Keys Marathon airports are open, airports director Richard Strickland said.

State parks in the Keys reopened Friday, as did Dry Tortugas National Park, with ferry and seaplane service back in operation. 

Everglades National Park, a portion of which is in Monroe County, is open as well.
