Tracking Hurricane Ian: How strong will the storm be when it hits Florida?

Hurricane Ian was growing stronger as it barreled toward Cuba on a track to hit Florida’s west coast as a major hurricane as early as Wednesday.

Ian was forecast to hit the western tip of Cuba as a major hurricane and then become an even stronger Category 4 with top winds of 140 mph (225 km/h) over warm Gulf of Mexico waters before striking Florida.

It’s not only the Category but the Size and speed of movement. Hopefully it will quickly pass.

So stressed. I get paid on Wednesday afternoon and can’t even afford a couple pieces of plywood to secure my bedroom and living room window :(

This storm had me rattled until I realised it made land fall 2 years ago.

My windows are from the 60’s and some of them don’t lock all the way down and it’s been stressing me out

I really hope the best for everyone here. Horrible timing
