Florida Governor Ron DeSantis activates the National Guard

By Nouran Salahieh

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis activated the National Guard on Sunday, saying that while Ian's path is uncertain, his impact will be widely felt across the state.

State and federal disaster declarations were made over the weekend.

One model projects Ian will make landfall in the Tampa Bay region, while another model projects it will make landfall in northwest Florida, DeSantis said.

"Everyone in Florida is going to feel the impact of the storm," Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie told CNN on Sunday.

A big concern is how quickly the storm could intensify, said Jason Dunion, director of the hurricane research field program at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

"The storm can increase its speed by 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour) in one day," Dunon said.

"It can go from a tropical storm to a Category 1 (hurricane), or from a Category 1 to a Category 3 in just that 24-hour period. That makes it especially important for people to pay attention to this storm in the days ahead."

As Ian approaches, Floridians are asked to stock up on supplies such as radios, water, canned food and medicine for at least seven days, and to familiarize themselves with evacuation routes.

Residents of Tampa and other areas began lining up for sandbags as they prepared for Ian.

Ian is already a hurricane and threatens Cuba and Florida, although its exact path is uncertain

By Nouran Salahieh

Ian threatens Cuba and Florida.

Ian is already a hurricane, according to the 5 am ET update from the US National Hurricane Center (NHC).

Hurricane Ian now has 120 km/h winds with even higher gusts.

Ian is located about 145 kilometers south-southwest of Grand Cayman and about 500 kilometers southeast of the western tip of Cuba.

A hurricane watch has been issued along Florida's west coast from north of Englewood to the Anclote River, including Tampa Bay.

Although its exact track remains uncertain, Ian strengthened Sunday night as it churned in the Caribbean, threatening to reach Florida as a hurricane with powerful winds and dangerous storm surge.

Despite Ian going strong, there remains "greater than usual" uncertainty about his trajectory and intensity, according to the NHC.

Ian is forecast to strengthen to a major Category 3 or higher hurricane by Tuesday, the center said.

Ian is forecast to strengthen as it approaches western Cuba on Monday morning, potentially reaching a Category 2 strength by the time it makes landfall.

"Life-threatening" storm surge and gale-force winds are expected, the center said.

"Efforts to protect life and property must be completed quickly," forecasters added.

In addition, Ian is expected to produce "heavy rainfall, flash flooding and possible mudslides" in areas of higher ground, particularly over Jamaica and Cuba.
