Tropical Storm Ian Moving Towards the Carolinas, Threatens New Landfall
Florida's Luck Runs Out as Ian Makes Landfall
As Tropical Storm Ian moves away from Florida and into the Atlantic Ocean, the storm is forecasted to turn northwest and make landfall once more in the Carolinas, bringing the threat of further destruction and devastation.
Ian's Devastating Impact on Florida
Ian made landfall in southwest Florida's Lee County as a Category 4 storm, unleashing brutal winds and torrential rain. The storm caused widespread damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure, leaving many communities without power and essential services.
Storm's Path and Predictions
Ian is expected to leave Florida on Thursday, heading out over the Atlantic Ocean. As it does so, the storm will likely regain some of the strength it lost while crossing the state. Forecasters predict Ian will turn northwest and make landfall again in the Carolinas, potentially as early as Friday.
Atlantic Hurricane Season
Ian is the fourth Atlantic hurricane of 2022, a season that has seen an unusual delay in hurricane activity. The season normally peaks in August and September, but Ian is the first hurricane to make landfall in the United States since Hurricane Fiona hit Puerto Rico in September.
