Hurricane Ian has strengthened into an “extremely dangerous” Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of almost 140 miles per hour, the National Hurricane Center said early Wednesday.
Ahead of a landfall expected by Wednesday afternoon, the center warned of “life-threatening storm surge, catastrophic winds and flooding in the Florida peninsula.” The first significant hurricane to hit the Sunshine State since 2018, Ian is forecast to move slowly toward the coast and cause power outages. Its effects are expected to be felt into the weekend. In Cuba, government crews worked through the night to restore power after Ian severely disrupted the national electric system, leaving the entire island nation without power as of Tuesday evening.
