There are a lot of reports of a possible coup in China. Reports from media based in India say that the only thing that has been confirmed is that the air space was virtually vacant.

Can't find anything else about China. Those tweets are a bit odd.

Agree. I saw it earlier today but no "reputable" news outlets have picked up the story.

I saw some people sharing this on Twitter earlier, but it was quickly apparent that it's fake news...

Per 5 PM update on Ian, experts think the storm is going more west, Looking at the cone, Miami is spared. Ian will be a Cat 4 in the Gulf and will hit western Florida but it will be north of Tampa if I am looking at it correctly

If that is the area around Pt. Saint Joe, that was the area that was devastated a few years ago. Like Puerto Rico, I wonder what a second hit would do. Hope for the best.

Via Wiki:

The Kingdom of Two Sicilies, in the course of 1848–1849, had been able to suppress the revolution and the attempt of Sicilian secession with their own forces, hired Swiss guards included. The war declared on Austria in April 1848, under pressure of public sentiment, had been an event on paper only.
