"Uninhabitable"

Data: National Hurricane Center/NOAA, Mapbox; Map: Will Chase/Axios
Densely populated coastal communities known for attracting tourists and retirees were inundated today as Hurricane Ian made landfall as a high-end Category 4 storm, Axios' Andrew Freedman reports.

    The National Hurricane Center warned of Ian's "potentially historic" storm surges and warned that certain locations may be "uninhabitable for an extended period."
Zoom out: Ian is the strongest hurricane to make landfall in Florida since Hurricane Michael devastated the Florida panhandle in 2018, Axios' Erin Doherty reports.

?? The retirement magnet of Naples has already set a new storm surge record of 9+ feet, Axios' Jacob Knutson reports.

    Ft. Myers, Sanibel Island and Cape Coral were seeing damaging flooding as of midday. Water has pushed inland in some communities.More than 808,000 customers are without power in Florida.

The bottom line: If surges reach their forecasts of 12–18 feet, it would be unprecedented for the region and some of the highest recorded in American history.
