Multiple Florida counties struck by Hurricane Ian, which is now a tropical storm, instituted curfews Wednesday and said those who don't comply face fines and jail time.
Lee, Collier, Volusia and Flagler counties all implemented curfews to keep people indoors.
The city of Naples also has a curfew in place indefinitely, which does not apply to first responders.
Lee County's curfew expires Friday at 6 a.m. A notice to boil drinking water is also in effect for the southwest Florida county.
