Destroyed marina seen after Hurricane Ian caused widespread destruction Fort Myers, Florida

A destroyed marina is seen after Hurricane Ian caused widespread destruction in Fort Myers, Florida, Sept. 29, 2022.

👉The U.S. National Hurricane Center said early Friday that Hurricane Ian is expected to produce a life-threatening storm surge and hurricane conditions along the Carolina coast later in the day and will likely produce flooding rains across the Carolinas and southwestern Virginia.

According to the Hurricane Center, a storm surge warning means “there is a danger of life-threatening inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline.” The agency urged people to follow evacuation orders and other instructions from local officials.

A hurricane warning means that “Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion,” according to the Hurricane Center.

Ian has maximum sustained winds of 85 kph with higher gusts.

Ian left a path of destruction in Florida, and U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday pledged the federal government will do whatever has to be done to help Florida rebuild.
