On Wednesday, Hurricane Ian slammed into the southwestern coastal region of Florida leaving communities devastated and towns flooded. Hurricane Ian arrived as a category 4 storm with winds up to 125 miles per hour leaving people on the coast in panic. On Tuesday, there were already some warning signs of the hurricane-like an increase of wind speeds up to 125 mph. In turn, the wind’s destruction caused power outages affecting cities only a few miles near the coast. Pictures show houses submerged underwater along with streets and buildings. Because of the storm surge, flooding was up to 3-10 feet of water depending on how close it was to the ocean. As it rapidly pummeled over Florida in nearly a day, the hurricane settled into the Atlantic Ocean. But, a moment after it settled, the hurricane intensified enough for it to remain strong as a category 1 with winds up to 85 mph as it turned toward South Carolina. The landfall is predicted to hit near Charleston on Friday afternoon.
