North Carolina's price gouging law against overcharging in a state of emergency is now in effect statewide. "We're in the process of activating some members of the North Carolina National Guard, some components of our statewide search and rescue program, particularly Swiftwater," Ray said. Conditions deteriorated quickly along the South Carolina coast Friday morning.
In Fort Myers, devastation abounds
An event spokesperson says more than 100 vendors will still continue to be inside the RCC. Wake Forest is scheduled to play at Florida State on Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla., Duke is hosting Virginia, and UNC is hosting Virginia Tech. A game scheduled for Saturday between South Carolina and S.C.
Ian pounds South Carolina; washes away piers and floods streets
Officials in Raleigh are making sure flood-prone areas are being looked at to deal with any heavy rains. Meanwhile in Durham city leaders are meeting with Duke Energy to talk about their hurricane preparations. By Saturday morning, the storm -- which is expected to no longer be hurricane strength -- will make another landfall somewhere along the Georgia or South Carolina coast. The system will continue on a northwestern path into the North Carolina mountains. Much of North Carolina is forecast to see 2-5 inches of rain but 5-7 inches or more will be possible near the coast and along the Blue Ridge Escarpment.
Tracking Ian: How it will impact the Carolinas, and when
"I don't know how anyone could have survived in there," William Goodison said amid the wreckage of a mobile home park in Fort Myers Beach where he'd lived for 11 years. Goodison said he was alive only because he rode out the storm at his son's house inland. He wrote, "Big spike in gas outages in Florida from last update. 13.4% of stations without gas, including 30.8% in Tampa, 26.1% in Ft Myers/Naples." The early impacts were seen as the center of Ian was still about 100 miles from the city. Overall, about 1.9 million customers remain without power in the state as of 10 a.m. Rescue teams need the water to recede and are awaiting special equipment to investigate those situations further.
A large tree fell on a car along Rutgers Avenue, which was closed as crews worked to clear the downed tree. Meanwhile, Jim Erbs was at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport on Saturday afternoon waiting to pick up his wife, who was flying in from Orlando. Saturday morning, debris was visible in the Myers Park neighborhood and the Little Sugar Creek Greenway, but much of it amounted to small branches and tree leaves. Tonight will be clear and cool, with overnight low temperatures around 50 degrees for the piedmont, and around 40 degrees in the mountains.

More than 558,000 of those claims were for residential properties; over 33,000 of the claims were for commercial properties; and almost 600 were from interrupted businesses, according to the data. Nearly 180,000 were for other lines of business, including damaged automobiles. Tonight will be clear and cool, with overnight low temperatures in the upper 40s for the piedmont, and upper 30s in the mountains. In fact, only parts of the state will see times of rain during the day.
Gusty winds, along with rainfall as the storm passes through could lead to some trees down and power outages. Those strong winds combined with saturated ground could cause trees to topple, putting power lines at risk. Power crews across the state are on high alert and ready to respond as quickly as possible, but still it's likely that some people will be without power for at least a little while.
Post-tropical Ian will dissipate as it heads north
A National Weather Service official warned Ian was set to make landfall Friday afternoon in South Carolina. "A lot of prayers have been answered, but I ought to ask people, don't quit yet because it's still coming," McMaster said during a briefing Friday afternoon. "We're just beginning to see the scale of that destruction," Mr. Biden said.
Hundreds of thousands without power in Florida and Carolinas
With a State of Emergency declared, the price gouging law is in effect. Price gouging is when a business charges unreasonably high rates in the midst of a crisis, ranging on products from gasoline to groceries to cleaning products. If you feel a business is engaging in price gouging, take a picture of your receipt, and submit a claim here or call (877) 5-NO-SCAM. If the Attorney General's Office finds a complaint is valid, a business can face fines up to $5,000 for each violation. On Thursday afternoon, the governor gave an update on state preparations. On Thursday afternoon, Gov. Roy Cooper gave an update on state preparations.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster and state emergency health officials are urging residents to take their basic precautions ahead of Ian. Friday afternoon sessions at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse scheduled for Friday have been canceled. 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. Many of those guests are glued to the TV, watching coverage of the storm, assessing damage and trying to gauge when might be a good time to return. The Hampton Inn in Dunn reported that dozens of guests from Florida are staying at the hotel, with more checking in Wednesday.
The hurricane hit in September 2022, causing damage for more than half a million of the state's residents. Catastrophic storm surge, heavy rain and 150 mph winds wiped out or damaged structures as well as some roads and bridges, with the Fort Myers area particularly impacted. A First Alert Weather Day has been issued for Saturday, as we expect the heaviest rain and highest wind gusts. 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. With winds holding at 85 mph, the National Hurricane Center's update at 5 a.m.
New numbers are in and they are showing losses totaling nearly $21.4 billion dollars. This comes from more than 776,000 claims, most of them involving residential property and auto damage. The storm is the first Category 4 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico since Hurricane Rita in September 2005.
Ahead of Ian's expected landfall in South Carolina Friday afternoon, Gov. Henry McMaster called the hurricane "very dangerous," but he also said "this is not as bad as it could have been." 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. Ian made landfall in Cayo Costa on Sept. 28, 2022, as a category 4 hurricane. Of all the claims in Florida filed following the hurricane, 529,869 claims were closed with payment (about 68%), while 198,028 were closed without payment (25%).
In Charlotte County, which is home to Punta Gorda, the preliminary death toll is 23, the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office told ABC News. Florida’s death toll from Hurricane Ian has climbed to at least 72, according to information from local officials. All previously scheduled performances at the five free Street Stages will move to the Raleigh Convention Center.
