Hurricane Ian was downgraded to a tropical storm Thursday morning after causing widespread devastation and flooding that trapped residents in their homes.

Described as one of the most powerful storms to ever hit the US, Ian slammed into Florida's southwest coast as a major Category 4 hurricane Wednesday afternoon, bringing 150 mph winds and life-threatening storm surge.

Meanwhile, GMA's Ginger Zee had fans wishing she'd stay safe on Wednesday as she reported from where Hurricane Ian was due to strike.
