At 12:35 p.m. ET, Ian's intensity was increasing to the upper limits of Category 4, on its way to becoming a Category 5. Its eyewall came ashore on Sanibel and Captiva islands — barrier islands just off Florida's west coast, late in the morning.

Some of these impacts are clear, particularly more serious rainfall and historic flooding, along with higher storm surges. Other impacts, like how the relentless warming oceansare affecting how strong these storms grow, are an intensive and ongoing area of research.
While Ian's path has been notably unpredictable over the past few days, as possibilities narrow, it appears very likely that the storm will strongly impact populous communities around Gasparilla Sound-Charlotte Harbor, including Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda.
