Hurricane Ian Relief Flight

Official achievement authored by JimG008.

Hurricane Ian made landfall over the west coast of Florida as a category 4 storm on Wednesday afternoon, according to the National Hurricane Center.The storm hit near Cayo Costa, Florida with maximum sustained winds at 150 mph, the center said on Twitter.Hurricane Ian greatly intensified as it neared land, reaching winds of 155 mph and nearing the most dangerous Category 5 classification Wednesday morning. Hurricane force winds were 35 miles out from the center and tropical storm force winds were 150 miles from the center, according to the National Weather Service. More than 2.5 million people were under mandatory evacuation orders in Florida, but legally, no residents can be forced to leave their homes.  Rainfall near the storm’s landfall site could top more than 18 inches, and storm surges could push as much as 18 feet of water over nearly 100 miles of coastline, according to the National Hurricane Center. The National Weather Service has also issued the highest-possible wind warning for several regions in Florida in anticipation of extreme wind damage from the storm. But meteorologists were most concerned about the flooding. A call for all available FsHub pilots has been issued for relief flights into the Fort Myers area. Due to the heavy damage done by Ian, relief supplies will have to originate at least 200 nm from Fort Myers. Relief flights will be monitored for the next 5 days. The closest major airport to Cayo Costa is Page Field [KFMY] in Fort Myers.
