Hurricane Ian — now a stronger and “extremely dangerous” Category 4 storm — has begun lashing Florida with major flooding and ruinous winds as it advances on a large swath of the state’s west coast with the potential within hours to inflict catastrophic floods and life-threatening storm surge.

“Conditions rapidly deteriorating along the southwest Florida coast,” the National Hurricane Center tweeted Wednesday morning, with Ian’s center just 55 miles from the coast.
