We are fully into Hurricane season, and the first big storm to hit the United States will soon make landfall.

Hurricane Ian tore into western Cuba on Tuesday as a major hurricane, with nothing to stop it from intensifying into a catastrophic Category 4 storm before it hits Florida, where officials ordered 2.5 million people to evacuate before it crashes ashore Wednesday.

Floridians who live on the state’s west coast have been prepping for days. Businesses and homes are boarded up to avoid any wind damage, and folks have been filling sandbags to prevent any flooding that may happen after the storm wrecks havoc.

Below are photos showing Florida residents getting ready for the big storm.
