Hurricane Ian is expected to bring a perilous storm surge and winds as strong as 140 mph to Florida's gulf coast this week.

. The surge is predicted to be a little less severe in Florida, where parts of Tampa Bay could see waters 5-8 feet higher than normal.

But Ian's menacing approach is a reminder of a warning that hurricane experts often invoke: A single bad storm is enough to upend people's lives. Hurricane Ian will strengthen into a major storm before it runs into western Cuba and Florida, forecasters say.Along the coast of the eastern Gulf of Mexico, all eyes are on forecasts that model Ian's potential path. But experts urge everyone in the region to have an emergency plan in place, even if the latest track doesn't show the storm making landfall in their area.

It's a good thing Florida's governor spent most of his time enacting policies that will help protect Floridians during and after hurricanes. Wait, what? Ron DeSantis is governor of Florida and wasted most of his time on BS culture war issues? Oh, dear... 😬

I know we all probably might have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Samantha_M078 on Twitter he guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with her

Praying 🙏 for Florida
