☆ As Hurricane Ian nears, millions in Florida told to evacuate
  + stars: | 2022-09-27 | by ( Brendan O'Brien Shannon Stapleton | Brendan O'Brien | Shannon Stapleton | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
Local residents fill sandbags, as Hurricane Ian spun toward the state carrying high winds, torrential rains and a powerful storm surge, at Ben T. Davis Beach in Tampa, Florida, U.S., September 26, 2022. Before heading to Florida, Hurricane Ian slammed into Cuba, forcing evacuations, cutting power to hundreds of thousands of people and swamping fishing villages. A Category 3 storm features maximum sustained winds of up to 129 miles per hour (208 km per hour). "I wasn't particularly scared until I saw the storm track this morning," Martino, 78, said as she prepared to go to her son's house north of Tampa. If Ian strikes Tampa, it would be the first hurricane to make landfall in the area since the Tarpon Springs storm in 1921.

The storm, currently a Category 1 hurricane, is expected to make landfall in Cuba on Monday evening. Lugo was one of many Florida residents preparing for flooding from torrential rains could submerge streets and homes. In a grocery store in St. Petersburg, across the state on the Gulf Coast, only empty cardboard boxes remained where the store normally stocks distilled water. "This is a really big storm," Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said during a morning news conference, noting that the storm could potentially envelope both coasts of the state. From there, Ian could either make landfall north of Tampa Bay early on Friday or turn northwest toward Florida's Panhandle.
