Hurricane Ian coverage

by

DTV (DAVISON) – (09/29/2022)  -Hurricane Ian hit the southwest coast of Florida on Wednesday as a category 4 hurricane with wind speeds reaching up to 150 mph. The hurricane then continued on to the east side of Florida through Thursday. It is projected to hit the water again between now and tomorrow morning. By then Ian will have lost some strength turning into a tropical storm but once it hits the water it may gain some of its strength back. It will then head towards Charleston, South Carolina.

A close friend of DTV, Margaret Grigsby of Fox13 in Tamp Bay reports her experience as they bunkered down at the news station and prepared for the storm to hit. Click HERE to see Grigsby’s report and to watch DTV’s newscast from today with special Hurricane Ian coverage.
