We wish to extend our thoughts and prayers for Florida as it faces and braces a cat 5 hurricane. This will be one of the strongest hurricanes in southwest Florida history.
Ian’s intensity increased to a strong Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained wind of 155 mph and the NHC said conditions were rapidly deteriorating along Florida’s Gulf Coast with hurricane-force winds extending out 40 miles and tropical-storm-force winds out 175 miles.
“Tropical-storm-force winds already beginning to affect coast,” the NHC stated. “Conditions will rapidly deteriorate and catastrophic wind damage is expected.”

Gusts of 190 mph are predicted when it makes landfall around 2 p.m., the updated NHC forecast said.

Hurricane Ian approached Category 5 status with sustained winds of 155 mph as it barreled toward Florida’s southwest coast this morning expected to trudge its way up toward Orlando tonight.
At 10 a.m., the National Hurricane Center said the center of Ian was located about 60 miles west of Naples and 65 miles southwest of Punta Gorda and 180 miles south-southwest of Orlando moving north-northeast at 10 mph.
The National Weather Service in Tampa posted an “Extreme Wind Warning” for much of Charlotte County including Cape Coral, Estero, Bonita Springs and Sanibel until 12:45 a.m.
Time is quickly running out for residents to rush preparations to completion on the southwestern Florida peninsula as Hurricane #Ian nears.
