Only 4 Category 5 hurricanes have made landfall in the US in recorded history: Michael (2018), Andrew (1992), Camille (1969), and the 1935 Labor Day hurricane. Ian is making a run at being the fifth. WSB-TV

Catastrophic storm surge. Praying for Floridians, first responders, and everyone in Ian's gigantic path. WSB-TV Brian Monahan, WSB Brad Nitz

I have flown storms for the last six years. This flight to Hurricane #Ian on Kermit (#NOAA42) was the worst I’ve ever been on. I’ve never seen so much lightning in an eye. This was the eye. You can see the curvature. Understand this is at NIGHT. The light is from LIGHTNING.

Absolutely wild. All of this in the eye, in which we circled for some time to deploy the UAS (uncrewed aerial system). A high end Cat 4 storm. Nearly Cat 5. All of this at 8,000 feet above the ocean. I’m glad we only did one pass.

This morning Sheriff Carmine Marceno took a tour of Lee County to begin assessing damage caused by Hurricane Ian. We are devastated. Our hearts go out to every resident who is impacted. The Lee County Sheriffs Office is mobile and will stop at nothing to help our residents.

Georgia Bulldogs have lost a legend.. Vince Dooley has passed away
