After being downgraded to a tropical storm, Ian is back to hurricane status as a Category 1 storm. Its latest landfall is expected in South Carolina -- between Charleston and Myrtle Beach -- sometime in the early afternoon on Friday, Sept. 30, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Already one of the Top 10 strongest storms on record in the United States, the death toll in Florida continues to rise with 12 fatalities related to the storm confirmed so far.

More than 2.2 million homes remain without power across Florida, with power expected to be out for weeks in some areas, especially around Fort Myers and Cape Coral, where infrastructure suffered severe damage.
