Daily News | With Ian, a ‘major’ hurricane threat brewing, Florida declares an emergency
With Ian, the first serious hurricane threat to the U.S. mainland in the suddenly revived 2022 season brewing in the Caribbean, Florida’s governor has declared a state of emergency, and forecasters say the storm could have impacts into the Mid-Atlantic region next weekend.
Ian is still new to the tropical storm roll call, having received its name at 11 p.m. Eastern Friday. Several hours earlier the hurricane center declared that Tropical Storm Hermine had formed in the far eastern Atlantic — bringing to four the number of named storms actively swirling at the time in the Atlantic Basin, which includes the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
Delta eventually spun northwest in the Gulf of Mexico, making landfall in Louisiana. While it’s too soon to know this storm’s future path, it’s at least possible that Ian could follow a similar track, Pastelok said. And AccuWeather says the storm ultimately could affect the Mid-Atlantic region.It took awhile for Ian to reach name status in part because of Fiona, said Philip Klotzbach, hurricane expert with Colorado State University.
