Hurricane Ian Impacts

By KAALTV

Hurricane Ian’s impacts will be most felt today, as it is expected to make landfall just north of Ft. Myers, FL. Storm Surges could peak anywhere between 8-12 feet, with the potential of reaching 16 feet. Heavy rainfall and winds of upwards of 150 MPH at their highest will allow for these storm surges to take place. Rainfall totals are expected to top a foot for several communities in central Florida, with the highest currently forecasted to be between 18-24″. Ian will weaken as it moves towards Orlando and especially northern Florida.
