Gov. Ron DeSantis has amended an executive order issued Friday and is now declaring a State of Emergency in all 67 counties in Florida – including The Villages.
“I encourage all Floridians to continue to monitor the storm and listen to local officials,” the governor said in a statement issued Saturday afternoon.
His amended order includes Sumter, Lake and Marion counties.
“Tropical Storm Ian is forecasted to become a major hurricane before making landfall along Florida’s West Coast,” the governor said.
