Hurricane Ian Downgraded to Tropical Storm Ian in Central Florida

As Hurricane Ian loses power over central Florida, the National Hurricane Center has downgraded it to Tropical Storm Ian.

Ian made landfall yesterday at Cayo Costa, Florida, as a Category 4 hurricane with 150 mph winds. It has since dropped back down through lower hurricane categories to a tropical storm with sustained winds of 65 mph.

Ian could be upgraded to a hurricane again as it regains power over the Atlantic Ocean before turning back to land. For now, it is projected to remain a tropical storm, and be downgraded to a tropical depression before dispersing over the Carolinas.

Most of Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort remain closed today, September 29, with some flooding and damage.
