The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
Tropical Depression Nine developed in the eastern Caribbean in the morning of Friday, September 23rd. The system steadily strengthened as it tracked to the northeast and became Hurricane Ian in the morning of Monday, September 26th. After making landfall and moving across western Cuba, Ian emerged into the eastern Gulf of Mexico and strengthened into a major hurricane. Ian then made landfall along the southwest Florida coast on Wednesday, September 28th and tracked northeastward across the Florida peninsula. Ian moved into the far western Atlantic as a tropical storm, but quickly strengthened back to a hurricane. Ian then made landfall as a category 1 hurricane near Georgetown, SC at 2:05 pm on Friday, September 30th. Overall, Ian brought minor impacts to southeast Georgia, primarily in the form of gusty winds that produced minor wind damage mainly to trees.
