Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis warned many of his residents early Wednesday that it is too late to flee the “catastrophic’ wrath of Hurricane Ian, which is expected to make landfall in hours…
“As the governor said, hunker down — now’s not the time to hit the roads,” he warned residents.
The massive storm appeared on track to slam ashore somewhere north of Fort Myers and some 125 miles south of Tampa. The area is popular with retirees and tourists drawn to pristine white sandy beaches and long barrier islands, which forecasters said could be completely inundated. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says Hurricane Ian is expected to make landfall in Florida on Sept. 28 as a historic category 5 storm.“Time is quickly running out for residents to rush preparations to completion on the southwestern Florida peninsula as Hurricane #Ian nears,” the National Hurricane Center tweeted just after 8:30 a.m.
On its way to the US, Ian walloped Cuba, devastating Pinar del Río province, where much of the tobacco used for Cuba’s iconic cigars is grown and where state broadcaster Canal Caribe reported two deaths.
