The Good Morning America presenter took to her Instagram to share the update, where she made sure she was protected from the rain and high winds in a blue coat. Sharing an update on Ian with followers, she said she was in a “serious situation” as if the storm continued to be classed as a category 4 when it made landfall, it would be only the fifth time such a weather event has happened in the nation’s history.

She then issued a warning about the expected storm surge, which could reach between 12 to 16 feet and would be enough to “move cars, move houses”.
As she left her hotel to show the effect the winds were already having, her voice was mostly drowned out as she showed the water in the swimming pool and the palm trees swaying.
As her video ended, her producer was calling her back in, and Ginger urged her followers to “stay safe”.
