Forecasters prepare those in path of Hurricane Ian of force "not seen in our lifetime"

Forecasters brought in by the Florida Governor's Office warned those in the path of Hurricane Ian that "This could be the storm that we’ve hoped would never come to our shores." Governor DeSantis also weighed in, saying, "Floridians up and down the gulf coast should feel the impacts of this up to 36 hours before actual landfall due to the size of the hurricane. This is a really, really big hurricane at this point, uh, the diameter, the width of its about 500 miles wide."
