Footage of Hurricane Ian Hitting Florida Is Terrifying
Hurricane Ian has made landfall in Florida as a high-end Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds. The footage we've seen so far is absolutely incredible. Some of the videos involve weathermen and women putting themselves in harms way, other footage just displays the utter power and destruction of the storm.
Here's a radar image of the storm as it made landfall.

This is EXTREMELY dangerous. I can’t believe I have to say this…. DO NOT GET INTO THE WATER! pic.twitter.com/jsoUPvX8uC
And this time the street shark isn't a hoax! We think.
After over half a decade of debunking this hoax every time there was a flood or hurricane, I can't believe I'm looking at an honest-to-god street shark.
