"You see these waters out here, you need to be careful," marina owner Butch Broome told WTOC-TV.

Charleston airport closes, Tampa reopens
There is still rain in the forecast for Saturday, but no longer a flooding risk. The latest forecast track has Hurricane Ian making landfall by Wednesday evening between Tampa and Fort Myers, Florida, near Sarasota, as a major hurricane, with winds of 130 mph possible. The forward progress of Ian will slow after making landfall through the day Thursday into early Friday.
What is a 'potential tropical cyclone'?
Charlotte could be the western edge of forecast impacts, with communities east of Charlotte more likely to see any impacts. We’ll stay dry today with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s and tonight, but rain will overspread the area from southeast to northwest early on Friday. It will also be very windy and cold, with afternoon readings only in the upper 50s to lower 60s, about 20 degrees below normal for late September. The southeast coast of South Carolina is expected to take a direct hit from Ian.

The road into Fort Myers was littered with broken trees, boat trailers and other debris. Cars were left abandoned in the road, having stalled when the storm surge flooded their engines. "This storm can still be dangerous and even deadly," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said.
By 8 am Saturday, the center of circulation should be closer to the NC/VA state line. (WBTV) - Tropical Storm Warnings have been canceled for the Charlotte-Metro area as Post-Tropical Cyclone Ian continues heading north. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools has canceled all after school activities Wednesday due to the impact of Hurricane Idalia. That includes clubs, sports and extracurricular activities. CMS after school enrichment programs will operate as normal through 6 pm.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said Friday afternoon the state was "feeling the impacts" of Hurricane Ian as the storm was making landfall in South Carolina. Duke Energy is getting ready to respond in anticipation of power outages during the storm later this week. Rain totals could be over 4 inches which will lead to flood concerns, especially east of Charlotte, where we expect to see higher rain totals. Widespread flooding and river flooding are not huge threats.

Hurricane Ian
That's because some areas will see periods of heavy downpours. Flood warnings change to flood watches in areas across the Triangle. Thousands spend night in dark after Ian drenches the Triangle causing trees and power lines to fall.
The Carolinas were experiencing "life-threatening" storm surge Friday, as well as damaging winds and flash flooding, according to the National Hurricane Center. Ian slammed coastal South Carolina as a hurricane on Friday, ripping apart piers and flooding streets after the ferocious storm caused catastrophic damage in Florida. As Ian moved across South Carolina on its way to North Carolina Friday evening, it dropped from a hurricane to a post-tropical cyclone.
Although flooding can happen anytime of the year, it’s especially important for residents to take time in advance of hurricane season, which begins June 1, to prepare. We’ve seen storms before the season starts and after it has ended. Idalia had crossed into Georgia on a path toward the Carolinas.
A First Alert has been issued for Friday through Sunday, with multiple rounds of heavy rain possible, which could cause localized flooding issues. Gusty winds of 35 mph or higher are possible, as the remnants of what is now Hurricane Ian, is expected to move closer to the Carolinas. High temperatures will be in the upper 60s to lower 70s Friday through Sunday for the piedmont, with weekend high temperatures around 60 degrees for the mountains. "Hurricane Ian reminds us how unpredictable these storms can be and North Carolinians should be prepared when it reaches our state," Cooper said Thursday.
