Ian downgraded to post-tropical cyclone
Ian has become a post-tropical cyclone, but winds remain at 70 mph and the "dangerous storm surge, flash flooding and high wind threat continues," the National Hurricane Center said in its latest bulletin.
Hurricane warning and watch areas have now been discontinued, though a tropical storm warning has been issued from Edisto Beach, South Carolina, to Cape Fear, North Carolina.
