Mitigation Assessment Team Report: Hurricane Ian in Florida: Building Performance Observations, Recommendations, and Technical Guidance, December 2023
United States. Federal Emergency Management Agency
From the document: "Hurricane Ian made landfall in southwestern Florida on the barrier island of Cayo Costa, FL, near Fort Myers on September 28, 2022, as a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 150 miles per hour (mph) over open water and a minimum pressure of 945 millibars [...]. It is (at time of publication) tied as the fourth strongest hurricane to make landfall on the continental United States based on wind speed on record over open water and was the ninth named storm of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season [...]. Following its northeastern passage over the Florida peninsula, the hurricane experienced a decrease in intensity, subsequently transitioning into a tropical storm. However, the storm later passed over the Atlantic waters east of Florida and escalated into a Category 1 hurricane. The storm continued to travel north and made a second landfall near Georgetown, South Carolina, on September 30. Hurricane Ian produced catastrophic storm surge, powerful winds, and unprecedented freshwater flooding that caused considerable damage throughout central and northern Florida and significant harm to the region's infrastructure and communities [...]. The storm resulted in the loss of over 150 lives and significant economic damage exceeding $112 billion, making it the costliest hurricane to strike the State of Florida and the third costliest in United States history. Approximately 3.28 million customers in Florida were left without power, and an additional 1.7 million customers in six other states lost power[.]"
