Hurricane Ian, which has strengthened into a Category 3 storm, is anticipated to make landfall in Florida on Wednesday, with severe weather already affecting parts of the state, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) and National Hurricane Center (NHC).
A hurricane warning is in effect for southwestern Florida communities ranging from the Fort Myers area to Tampa Bay, per the NHC. The storm has left nearly 1 million residents of western Cuba without power and caused flooding in the Florida Keys as of Tuesday morning.
