One of NASA s Earth-observing satellites has passed directly over Hurricane Ian, photographing the massive category 4 storm as it rolled over the ocean.
that this wind can put its claws in to. ian is throwing hay makers right now and has been all day long unfortunately. neil: hank in there, my friend. rick reichmuth is with us. rick warned about the size of this storm and the slowness of it. that makes it lethal, doesn t it? yeah, we had the first eye wall starting to come on shore in the 11:00 hour. we re 4 1/2 hours here. we still have the center of this storm just crossing the islands here. so it s a really slow mover. that means prolonged impacts. imagine if you got 150 miles an hour wind, say 100 miles an hour wind that hits you for a minute, that s one thing. have it hit you for an hour or a long period of time that causes all kinds of additional damage. so just want to point this out. this came on shore near caya costa florida. that s the exact same spot charlie came on shore in 2004.
