"I don't know how anyone could have survived in there," William Goodison said amid the wreckage of a mobile home park in Fort Myers Beach where he'd lived for 11 years. Goodison said he was alive only because he rode out the storm at his son's house inland. He wrote, "Big spike in gas outages in Florida from last update. 13.4% of stations without gas, including 30.8% in Tampa, 26.1% in Ft Myers/Naples." The early impacts were seen as the center of Ian was still about 100 miles from the city. Overall, about 1.9 million customers remain without power in the state as of 10 a.m. Rescue teams need the water to recede and are awaiting special equipment to investigate those situations further.
still missing after migrant boat sank off Florida coast as Ian arrived
A Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for most of central North Carolina. This means we're going to see a lot of rain and a lot of wind. Hurricane Ian made landfall as a Category 1 storm near Georgetown, South Carolina. All tornado watches and warnings dropped in North Carolina except North Hampton County. Bomlitz had no way to contact her mom, Shirley Affolter, who lost her cell phone before the storm. Before the storm, an evacuation vehicle had missed her on its route.

"Heavy rains, up to 7 inches in some areas, are likely to bring flooding. Landslides are a threat in our mountains, and there's a chance of tornadoes statewide." Lidianys de Dios stayed up all night as hurricane Ian hit, watching the rising water creep up to her front door, knowing that she has no flood insurance. She said she's never had flooding like this in her neighborhood.

Storm damage: Ian causes flooding, brings down trees across the Carolinas
New numbers are in and they are showing losses totaling nearly $21.4 billion dollars. This comes from more than 776,000 claims, most of them involving residential property and auto damage. The storm is the first Category 4 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico since Hurricane Rita in September 2005.

The American Red Cross is urging everyone in the region to make their storm preparations now. The organization has disaster teams and more relief supplies on the way to the region to support people impacted by Ian. The peak of the storm in our area will be late Friday afternoon before it slowly settles down shortly after midnight. "I got up this morning and they were predicting 2 feet of rain and flooding," Jones said. "So I just went ahead and made the decision to drive. Since I left this morning, they have decided to evacuate the island I live on. So it wasn't quite at evacuation when I decided to leave, but it is now." The I-95 corridor has been busy the past few days, with many Floridians fleeing north ahead of Hurricane Ian.
An event spokesperson says more than 100 vendors will still continue to be inside the RCC. Wake Forest is scheduled to play at Florida State on Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla., Duke is hosting Virginia, and UNC is hosting Virginia Tech. A game scheduled for Saturday between South Carolina and S.C.

Guthrie said they are still in "hasty search" mode, while the governor said there are more than 1,000 rescue personnel going up and down the Florida coast. The American Red Cross was on the ground in Florida even before Hurricane Ian made landfall, with hundreds of volunteers and trained disaster workers helping with relief efforts. Ahead of Ian's second expected U.S. landfall, the hurricane's effects were being felt across the state, the official said.
There could be flash flooding, landslides in the mountains, and rises on main-stem rivers. North Carolina could see heavy rainfall and possible flooding and tornadoes on Friday and Saturday from the remnants of Ian. The State Emergency Response Team will activate Thursday at the State Emergency Operations Center in Raleigh and plans to move to 24-hour operations on Friday morning.
The mountains and foothills of North Carolina will be at a greater risk of flooding as the rain lingers through Saturday morning. (WTVD) -- Ian made its way into North Carolina Friday evening bringing a lot of rain and high winds across the region. Although the storm was no longer hurricane status, it still packed a mighty punch. Here's a look at some key moments as post-tropical cyclone Ian churned its way through the Tar Heel state. "Hurricane conditions are possible within the Hurricane Watch area in North Carolina by this afternoon."
Wading through waist-deep water, Goodison and his son wheeled two trash cans containing what little he could salvage — a portable air conditioner, some tools and a baseball bat. "You see these waters out here, you need to be careful," marina owner Butch Broome told WTOC-TV. "It's going to be blowing strong winds, and it's going to be all over the state at different levels," South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said. Melbourne Orlando International Airport also reopened Friday morning, and Orlando International Airport plans to resume passenger flights after noon. Roughly 800 bridges across the state have been inspected and reopened, including 67 in Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota and Manatee counties that were deemed "high priority," DeSantis said. He also believes that all of the state's ports will be operational by the end of Saturday.
With all those conditions combined, power outages are most likely to happen Saturday. Localized flooding could start to happen around midday Friday. This will coincide with heavy bands of rain from the storm system, meaning the flooding is expected to be localized and not widespread. Gusty winds, isolated tornadoes, minor coastal flooding and hazardous marine conditions will also be possible.
