Hurricane Ian's Outer Bands Reach Georgia's Jekyll Island

The outer bands of Hurricane Ian brought high winds to the Atlantic coast in Georgia and Florida as the storm neared landfall off the west coast of Florida on Wednesday, September 28.

This footage from Hayden Mitchell shows sand being whipped up on Jekyll Island in Glynn County, Georgia.

Ahead of the storm, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp issued a State of Emergency, which would be in effect from Thursday morning, September 29, to Sunday night, October 2. Authorities on Jekyll Island said schools would remain closed on Thursday and Friday along with offices, sports facilities, museums, shops, and other venues. Credit: Hayden Mitchell via Storyful
