Hurricane Ian made landfall on Florida’s west coast on Wednesday as a category 4 storm, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
The eye of the storm hit Cape Coral Wednesday with maximum sustained winds of 155 miles per hour.
During a live broadcast, two weather reporters were hammered by the strong winds of a category 4 hurricane.
Jim Cantore, a reporter for the Weather Channel, was almost blown away and hit by a flying tree branch as he tried to show how strong Hurricane Ian was.
