Hurricane Ian has moved near the Cayman Islands and western Cuba, where authorities are bracing for heavy rainfall and “devastating” wind, as the storm is expected to intensify further before hitting the US state of Florida as a major hurricane later this week.The fast-growing storm was located about 160km (100 miles) west of Grand Cayman, barreling northwest towards Cuba with maximum sustained winds of 130km per hour (80 miles per hour), making it a Category 1 hurricane on a five-step scale.“Devastating wind damage is possible where the core of Ian moves across western Cuba,” the Miami-based National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Monday morning.
