Hurricane Ian’s Impact on Carrier Logistics – List of All Locations Where Delivery is Suspended (updated)

September 29th Update:

Hurricane Ian made landfall yesterday with 150 mph winds, rendering itself as one of the most powerful storms to hit that area. Although weakening, about 2.5 million are without power, and flooding remains a major concern.  The storm will strengthen when it leaves Florida, prior to making landfall again in South Carolina. Per the National Weather Service:

• The danger of a life-threatening storm surge will exist through Friday along the coasts of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
• Hurricane-force winds are expected across the coast of South Carolina beginning early Friday.
• Major record-setting flooding will continue across portions of central Florida, with considerable flooding in northern Florida. Flash and urban flooding are expected across coastal portions of northeast Florida through Friday. Significant flooding in southeastern Georgia and eastern South Carolina is expected through the end of the week.
