Not only was Ian a CAT 4 hurricane, the size of the storm was enormous. Yesterday we compiled a list of resources for those evacuating, today we see the arrival of Ian, now downgraded to a tropical storm, as seen by those who weathered the storm.

Tampa Bay found itself sucked dry by the force of Ian’s winds.
