Gov. DeSantis: Hurricane Ian Will Rank as ‘One of the Top 5 Hurricanes to Ever Hit the Florida Peninsula’

TRANSCRIPT:

DESANTIS: “There are — as much as we’re focused on southwest Florida, very important, obviously, when you have a storm of this nature, I think at landfall it’s going to be behind only the Labor Day hurricane, Hurricane Andrew and Hurricane Michael in terms of intensity. I think we’re going to end up seeing that it may end up being a Category 5, but at a minimum it’s going to be a very strong Category 4 that’s going to rank as one of the top five hurricanes to ever hit the Florida peninsula. So, that damage is ongoing. It’s very, very important, but the fact is, there’s going to be damage throughout the whole state and people in other parts of the state, be prepared for some impacts.”
