Quick Glance: Hurricane Ian traps thousands in Florida as it approaches South Carolina

At least one guy was confirmed deceased in Florida, while two others were killed in Cuba after the hurricane hit the island on Tuesday.

The hurricane center forecast that it will continue to strengthen before making landfall in South Carolina on Friday, although it would still be a Category 1 storm.

Some individuals in Fort Myers left shelters Thursday afternoon to return home.

Ian made landfall in Florida as a monster Category 4 storm, packing 150 mph (241 kph) gusts that tied it for the fifth-strongest hurricane ever to impact the United States.
