There's no time left to run - Hurricane Ian is here.

That's the warning from Florida authorities as the Category 4 storm sweeps ashore.

Winds up to 250 kilometres per hour are now lashing the Florida coast.

The entire state faces flash flooding and record storms surges more than 5-metres high.

Millions were under mandatory evacuation orders - but the state's governor Ron DeSantis says that window has now closed.

Kirby Wilson from the Tampa Bay Times spoke to Guyon Espiner.
