On Wednesday, Ian hit the western coast of the state of Florida in the southeastern US as a category 4 hurricane, where it has caused “catastrophic” flooding and power outages that have affected around 2,000,000 homes.

The CNH reported in its report at 09:00 GMT that the center of the tropical storm was moving northeast at about 13 kilometers per hour, but a turn to the north-northeast is expected, which would move away from the east-central Florida later Thursday and then approach the coast of South Carolina on Friday.



The maximum sustained winds have decreased to about 100 kilometers per hour with higher gusts, indicated the entity that forecast a slight re-intensification.

“Ian could be close to hurricane strength when it approaches the South Carolina coast on Friday. Weakening is expected Friday night and Saturday after Ian moves inland," the NHC added.
