Lee County has issued a curfew as Ian passes through Southwest Florida.
Curfew hours will begin at 6 p.m. and stay in place until further notice.
Lee County continues receiving and tracking 911 calls and engaging with callers. The calls are being categorized and prioritized so first responders can act as soon as the hurricane passes, the county said.
Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said his agency is taking calls, but they are prioritizing them.
There are a number of people who are stranded due to high water but first responders are facing impossible conditions to get there, Lee County said.
County leaders are working with Federal Urban Search and Rescue teams in order to rescue stranded people as soon as hurricane conditions allow them to travel to the Lee County area.
