As Hurricane Ian made landfall on Florida's southwestern coast Wednesday afternoon, it did so as a major Category 4 storm. That means it brought with it sustained winds of near 150 mph as the eye made landfall near Cayo Costa a little after 3 p.m., the National Hurricane Center reported. The winds weren't that strong everywhere along the hurricane's path — the eyewall is simply where they're strongest. But it does give an indication of how the hurricane brought battering winds with it up and down the Florida Gulf Coast.
