Locals Line Up for Gas in Bradenton Ahead of Tropical Storm Ian

Motorists in Bradenton, Florida, were seen lining up for gas on Sunday, September 25, ahead of the arrival of Tropical Storm Ian.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Ian was expected to strengthen to a major hurricane as it reached the eastern Gulf of Mexico mid-week, bringing dangerous surf and wind to areas of coastal Florida.

On Sunday, the storm was in the vicinity of western Cuba, where the NHC warned of “significant wind and storm surge impacts.”
