Sarasota, FL - A person was seen jet skiing off the coast of Southwest Florida just hours before Hurricane Ian made landfall on Wednesday.

Hurricane Ian made landfall around 3 p.m. Wednesday in Cayo Casto with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph, bringing catastrophic storm surges and flooding to parts of Southwest Florida.
