Hurricane Ian made its first landfall in southwest Florida as a major category 4 storm one year ago today. It later peaked as a category 5 hurricane with sustained winds of 160 mph while progressing towards the west coast of Florida. Ian made landfall just below peak intensity on Cayo Costa Island in southwest Florida. The hurricane tied with another storm as the fourth-strongest hurricane to hit Florida. It was also the deadliest tropical system to hit Florida in over 87 years, causing 150 deaths and over $110 billion in damages. This marked the first category 4 hurricane to make landfall in southwest Florida since Hurricane Charley in 2004.
