My old Vegas buddy @kylagaler is on the scene in Ft. Myers covering the storm where some of the biggest impacts are expected as the hurricane makes landfall. #HurricaneIan
We are no where near the worst of #HurricaneIan and I’m already seeing downed trees. This is on Fowler near Winkler Ave in Fort Myers. @NBC2
This hurricane looks like it could have a devastating impact in Fort Myers. I left the Tampa Bay area over the weekend but nervous for friends who stayed behind to ride out the storm.
#Ian's maximum sustained winds are now 155 mph, just short of Category 5 status (157mph.)
This storm is intensifying fast.
