The National Hurricane Agency has warned efforts to protect life and property should be 'rushed to completion' as tropical storm Ian, now upgraded to a potentially life-threatening hurricane, heads towards the US coast.
Weather models predict the hurricane will travel in the direction of Florida's west coast or Panhandle region - but forecasters are currently unsure where it will make landfall.
"Even if you're not necessarily right in the eye of the path of the storm, there's going to be pretty broad impacts through the state."
