Invest 97L Strengthens, Threatening Florida and US

Hurricane Ian left a fire station in hard-hit Naples, Florida completely submerged in water, but it didn't stop crews from continuing to make rescues in the area.

Meanwhile, the tropical wave approaching Florida and the US has been designated as Invest 97L, and chances for its development have increased significantly over the next 48 hours and seven days.

Storm Brings Evacuation Orders, Tax Filing Extension

More than 25 million residents in coastal Florida are under evacuation orders or advisories as a dangerous storm approaches the state. Hurricane Ian victims throughout Florida now have until February 15, 2023 to file various federal individual and business tax returns and make tax payments.

In addition, a storm system brewing over Cuba on Friday is expected to bring torrential rains to the Florida peninsula.
