A continuous and live broadcast on YouTube shows the effects of Hurricane Ian in several cities in Florida from the early hours of this Wednesday.
From the WW Cams Live At Any Time page on YouTube , users anywhere in the world can follow live the incidences of the cyclone that would impact the state after 4 pm today.
The service simultaneously shows the panorama in St. Petersburg, Saint Pete Beach, Tampa, Titusville, Dania Beach, Cocoa Beach and Fort Meyers Beach.
Until today’s morning hours, the images showed cloudy skies in most areas. In areas such as Titusville, Dania Beach and Cocoa Beach, the impact of the storm surge was already visible.
The YouTube channel focuses on broadcasting news and events of global importance. Previous videos focused on the ephemeris for the death of Queen Elizabeth II, monarch of the United Kingdom, and the conflict in Ukraine after the invasion of Russia.
“Riding the storm”, commented a user on the live broadcast.
Others questioned the presence of people in St. Pete Beach.“They want to play with mother nature and mother nature does not play”, shared a user.
One remembered the words of former President Donald Trump about Hurricane Florence in September 2018.
“Remember what Trump said he was going to be very wet”, indicated a commentator.
Hurricane Ian strengthened this Wednesday to category 4 with winds of 137 miles per hour (250 km/h). It is approaching the west coast of Florida at a speed of 9 miles (16 km), which will slow down before landfall.
The airports of Tampa and Orlando interrupted their flights in the face of the emergency and the main theme parks in the state (Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica Orlando, Discovery Cove and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay) will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday due to Hurricane Ian.
Ian is expected to make landfall starting at 4 pm in and around Tampa Bay.
Orlando is located 85 miles ( 85 km) by road from Tampa.
The main danger is the storm surge, which combined with the tide it would raise the sea level up to 16 feet.
Thousands of Floridians have abandoned their homes for being located in coastal areas at risk of flooding.
