- State under hurricane warning as Florida assesses damage
- Full story: ‘catastrophic’ damage from hurricane in Florida
Tropical Storm Ian, which battered Florida as a hurricane on Wednesday, is gaining new strength as it approaches South Carolina today.
Forecasts say landfall could take place this afternoon. The entire coast of South Carolina is under a hurricane warning. Once it makes landfall, Ian is expected to weaken back to a tropical storm as it makes its way across the southeastern US. The hurricane will be the first to directly hit South Carolina since Hurricane Matthew in 2016.
