Hurricane Ian Makes Landfall at Near Category 5 Strength

Floating cranes are docked in Old Tampa Bay as Hurricane Ian passes makes landfall, in Tampa, Fla. on Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2022. Hurricane Ian, one of the most powerful storms to strike the United States in decades, roared ashore on a barrier island off Florida’s southwestern coast on Wednesday afternoon, with 150-mile-per-hour winds and a devastating storm surge that submerged cars and knocked houses off their foundations in Fort Myers Beach and nearby towns.
