Hurricane Ian made landfall in southwest Florida near Cayo Costa on Wednesday afternoon as a massive Category 4 storm.
Sailboats moored in Roberts Bay are blown around by 50 mph winds in Venice, Florida, as Hurricane Ian approached the west coast of Florida, on Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2022.
The center of the massive Category 4 storm lingered offshore for hours, which was likely to mean more rain and damage from a hurricane that was trudging on a track that would have it making landfall north of the heavily populated Fort Myers area. Catastrophic storm surges could push 12 to 18 feet of water across more than 250 miles of coastline, from Bonita Beach to Englewood, forecasters warned.
Ian’s rapid strengthening prompted Fort Myers handyman Tom Hawver to abandon his plan to weather the hurricane at home and head across the state to Fort Lauderdale. Some chose to stay and ride out the storm. Jared Lewis, a Tampa delivery driver, said his home has withstood hurricanes in the past, though not as powerful as Ian.
“Please, please, please be aware that we are not out of danger yet,” Tampa Mayor Jane Castor said in a video on Twitter. “Flooding is still going to occur.”Airplanes overturned by a likely tornado produced by the outer bands of Hurricane Ian are shown, Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2022, at North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines, Fla.
