US authorities say that they fear Hurricane Ian could be the worst hurricane in US history. They believe that many people will be dealing with this story for days and maybe even weeks ahead as the aftermath of the storm really takes force.

Hurricane Ian has smashed into Florida’s Gulf Coast with devastating force, unleashing strong winds, very torrential rains and a raging ocean surf that has made it one of the most powerful US storms in US history.

The Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of up to 140mph and heavy rain has made beaches and coastal areas a complete no go zone leaving up to 2 million homes and businesses without power.

Homes up and down the western side of the State have been inundated with wind and rain. A further 45cm of rain is expected to fall over the coming 24 hours.
