Hurricane Ian

Another forlorn entry in the weather-history book. From its formation on September 23, 2022 to its dissipation on October 2, 2022, Ian left a significant trail of devastation and debris. The highest winds (1-minute sustained) were recorded at 135 knots (155 mph), and the lowest pressure reached 936 mbar (27.64 inHg.) 

As of today, over 100 deaths have been confirmed; I am surprised at the high number of casualties since almost a full week notice of the threat was available, even though the exact track and intensity was questionable—which is always the case with these things.

There are still a lot of details regarding this storm that are yet to be revealed.
