Hurricane Ian plowed into Florida’s Gulf Coast with catastrophic force on Wednesday, unleashing howling winds, torrential rains and a treacherous surge of ocean surf that made it one of the most powerful U.S. storms in recent years.

Ian made landfall at 3:05 p.m. EDT near Cayo Costa, a barrier island just west of Fort Myers, as a Category 4 hurricane, with sustained winds of up to 150 mph (241 km/h), the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported.

The storm’s wind speeds put it just shy of a Category 5 designation on the Saffir-Simpson scale, the most severe classification for storms with maximum sustained winds of at least 157 mph (252 km/h).

Approximately 2.5 million people have already been ordered to evacuate ahead of Ian's anticipated landfall on Wednesday. It had reached Category 4 strength after crossing Cuba and entering the Gulf of Mexico.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said damage is expected across a wide area regardless of where the storm makes landfall, and people should be prepared for power outages.
