Both Cuba and the U.S. state of Florida are preparing for Hurricane Ian to bring devastating winds and storm surges to their coasts this week.
The storm is expected to make landfall in Cuba on Monday and then lash Florida with storm surges and downpours.
Ian follows Hurricane Fiona, a powerful Category 4 storm that carved a path of destruction last week through Puerto Rico, leaving most of the U.S. territory without power and potable water. Fiona then barreled through the Turks and Caicos Islands, skirted Bermuda and slammed into Canada's Atlantic coast, where critical infrastructure might take months to repair.
