Two tornadoes touched down Tuesday night in Broward County, causing damage. Numerous planes at North Perry Airport were flipped or torn apart, and neighborhoods saw downed trees and sign posts.
In its 8 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday forecast, the National Hurricane Center said the most direct and damaging impact from Hurricane Ian is expected to be somewhere along the Gulf Coast between Fort Myers and Sarasota.MIAMI — Hurricane Ian’s projected path shifted to the south Tuesday and farther away from Tampa Bay, a heavily populated region highly vulnerable to storm surge flooding, but the storm was still shaping up as a potential wide-ranging disaster for Florida.
In its 8 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday forecast, the National Hurricane Center said the most direct and damaging impact from Hurricane Ian is expected to be somewhere along the Gulf Coast between Fort Myers and Sarasota. Ian could come ashore as a Category 3 or 4 storm, packing 130 mph winds and possibly bringing historic levels of storm surge to the Sarasota area.
Gov. Ron DeSantis urged Floridians in mandatory evacuation zones to heed officials and get out before it’s too late to leave. As of a 10 p.m. position update from the NHC, Hurricane Ian was about 175 miles south-southwest of Punta Gorda and about 5 miles south of the Dry Tortugas, as the eye of the storm moved over the island.
Earlier tracks bee-lined into Tampa Bay, which hasn’t seen a direct hit in a century. The bay is uniquely vulnerable to storm surge, a trend potentially worsened by rising sea levels. DeSantis said Tuesday that officials are still prepared for that scenario, with food and water packages staged across the state and a helicopter ready to deliver it to the Pinellas County peninsula if the bridges go out.Lukas Berlajolli, above, and Tony Fazliu help tape up the windows of a pizza restaurant in the Ybor City district in preparation for Hurricane Ian as the storm approaches the western side of the state, Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2022, in Tampa, Fla.
“A typical summertime thunderstorm here in Florida would put down 1 inch. Multiple that by 10 or 15,” he said.
