DESANTIS: FLORIDA’S HURRICANE IAN RECOVERY WILL BE ’24/7 OPERATION’
Hurricane Ian has left a th of destruction in southwest Florida. Many fatalities are expected as the storm left people trapped inside flooded homes. The roof of a hospital intensive care unit was damaged and millions were left without power.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called the damage from Ian “historic” during a morning press conference.
“We’ve never seen a flood event like this,” DeSantis said. The amount of water that’s been rising and will likely continue to rise today – even as the storm is ending – is basically a 500-year event.”
The storm is continuing north and is expected to imct other states including Georgia and South Carolina.
