Just In: Tropical Storm Ian upgraded to Category 1 hurricane.
The National Hurricane Center upgraded Tropical Storm Ian to hurricane status early Monday morning, as authorities and residents in Florida kept a cautious eye on the storm rumbling northward through the Caribbean.
Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for all of Florida over the weekend, expanding an initial order that covered two dozen counties. He urged residents to prepare for a storm that could lash large swaths of the state with heavy rains, high winds and rising seas. An infrared image provided by the National Hurricane Center and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows Hurricane Ian, at the bottom, gaining strength as it heads north toward western Cuba at 5 a.m. Eastern, September 26, 2022, with sustained winds of 75 miles per hour.
"I tried to get water, but it's no more," said one woman in Clearwater."Not too much at this moment."
