Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry on Sunday morning urged Jacksonville residents to be prepared as the city is expected to feel the effects of Tropical Storm Ian in the coming days.
Ian, which is expected to become a hurricane late Sunday, was located about 265 miles south-southeast of Grand Cayman with significant wind and storm surge impacts expected in western Cuba on Sunday afternoon, but it is expected to make its way north and impact Florida by Tuesday.Ian projected to become hurricane, expected to reach Category 4 strength on track toward Florida
“You’ll learn about evacuation routes, designated shelters and emergency preparedness resources in the community,” Curry said. “While we have been very fortunate compared to other parts of Florida, we can’t afford to be complacent or unprepared with any storm. Please take the time now to make a disaster plan for your family, including a communications plan.”
The guide said that flooding from the St. Johns River can be a significant threat. The National Weather Service of Jacksonville said Tropical Storm Ian will bring heavy rain and potential flooding to the Jacksonville area.
