A woman drove a 54-hour round trip to rescue her 93-year-old grandma from Hurricane Milton.

Jennifer Seaman, 40, and her mom, Sue Schaffnit, 66, were worried about the devastating impact of Hurricane Milton and decided to drive from Peoria, Illinois, to Venice, Florida.

The duo set off on October 6, at 10pm and made the 1,210 mile journey through Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia before arriving in Venice, Florida at 7pm local time on October 7.

Jennifer packed up her 93-year-old grandma's, bags with her mom and set off 30 minutes later.

The drive back to Illinois took 34 hours and they arrived home on October 9, at 5am.
