Hurricane Ian strengthens into a powerful Category 3 storm ahead of expected landfall in Cuba

The hurricane, packing maximum sustained winds of 115 mph, is “expected to make landfall over western Cuba soon,” the National Hurricane Center said around 2:30 a.m. Life-threatening storm surge, hurricane-force winds and flash flooding are expected in the area. Conditions in western Cuba began deteriorating Monday evening, and the center of the storm was about 35 miles south of the city of Pinar del Rio as of 2:30 a.m., the center said.

Tampa Electric said it may have to proactively shut down power in the southern tip of downtown early Wednesday in an effort to “avoid serious damage to the underground equipment from saltwater storm surge, which will significantly shorten restoration time after the storm.” Tampa Bay International Airport will suspend operations at 5 p.m. Tuesday, DeSantis said Monday. The Port of Tampa Bay is also planning to suspend operations at 8 a.m. Tuesday, the governor said.

Looks like the hand of god is about to slap DeSantis - maybe he should’ve spent the money on snorkels instead of buses and planes 😳 Is Texas next? 🧐 justasking

If the governor had shown compassion for those illegals and Floridian's would have spoken up for them maybe the powers that be would have spared them from this tragedy that's about to come and now some of them will experience what it's like to need help

Mi alma esta con Cuba
