YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

As Hurricane Ian barrels toward Florida, officials are urging those in the storm’s path to brace for deadly wind, flooding and storm surges from what may become one of the costliest storms to hit the US.

“It’s no longer possible to safely evacuate,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Wednesday in a briefing. “It’s time to hunker down and prepare for the storm.”

Hurricane Ian is holding its strength -- with winds of 155 miles an hour -- as the storm approaches Florida’s Gulf coast, threatening to rip roofs off of homes, deliver devastating floods, cripple infrastructure and wreck orange groves. The hurricane is about 35 miles (64 kilometers) from Fort Myers, Florida, where it’s expected to make landfall Wednesday afternoon.
