What we know about Hurricane Ian

As of September 29, Time states Hurricane Ian became one the strongest hurricanes to make landfall in Florida since Hurricane Michael back in 2018. The winds reached about 155 mph, making it a Category 4.

According to WBRC, Hurricane Ian has already produced 12-24 inches of rain along Interstate 4 in the Florida Peninsula from Cape Coral to Orlando and Daytona Beach. Alabama has been unscathed for the most part besides Al.com’s reporting of some of the water in Mobile Bay being temporarily sucked out from the storm surge.
