Hurricane Ian formed in the Atlantic Ocean in early September 2022. The days leading up to landfall were some of the most stressful times we experienced as we prepped our boat and townhome for what could be the worst-case scenario. On the morning of September 28, Ian intensified into a Category 4 hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico. Ian came ashore near Cayo Costa, Florida, at 3:05 p.m. EST destroying everything in its path with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph, tying the record for the fifth-strongest hurricane on record to strike the US.
