Hurricane Ian triggered evacuation orders for parts of Florida's west coast today, as it is expected to bring a 'life-threatening' storm surge to the region later this week.
Monday morning for most of Florida's west coast.the storm could bring 6-10 inches of rainfall to the Tampa area alongside 45 to 60 mph winds and gusts to 90 mph.
"This portion of coastline, the west coast of Florida, is incredibly vulnerable to storm surge," Jamie Rhome, acting director of the National Hurricane Center, said"We're indicating the potential for as much as 10 feet of storm surge in portions of the Florida west coast," Rhome added."We’re expecting sustained tropical or hurricane winds to our barrier islands and coastal communities for as long as 48 hours, with the earliest arrival predicted for 8 p.m.
“This is a worst-case scenario with a very strong slow-moving storm just to the west of us," Hopes added.The National Hurricane Center said storm surge, wind and rainfall from Hurricane Ian may be prolonged by the storm's forward motion slowing while it moves toward Florida.
