YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHurricane Ian rapidly gained strength -- with winds reaching 155 miles an hour -- as it barreled toward the coast of Florida, threatening to rip roofs off of homes, wreck agricultural crops and cripple infrastructure as one of the costliest storms to ever hit the US.
Ian’s winds are now just 2 mph away from reaching Category 5 strength, the most powerful rating for a storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale, according to the US National Hurricane Center. Only four Category 5 hurricanes have hit mainland US in records going back to 1851. The storm is about 55 miles west of Naples, Florida, and is on track to make landfall near Fort Myers, a two-hour drive south from Tampa.
“Catastrophic wind damage is likely where the core of Ian moves on shore,” Eric Blake, a senior hurricane specialist, said in a statement. “Widespread, prolonged major and record river flooding expected across central Florida.”
