Hurricane Ian was a large, deadly, and destructive category 4 hurricane that hit Wednesday September 28th. Rescuers had to save people by boat and aircraft. Rescuers had to go through destroyed and washed away homes to be able to find people. Flooded, destroyed, and splintered homes forced people to evacuate from cities; Citrus, Flagler, Franklin, Glades, Hernando, and more. Fort Myers and Cape Coral have been questioned if they mandated an evacuation in time or not. Some people chose to stay and try and make it through the storm. 2.1 million houses are getting power restored to them throughout the week. At least 74 people have died from the storm in Florida and 4 people in North Carolina were also killed in storm-related incidents. Hurricane Ian will be known as one of the worst storms in U.S. history, destroying homes and businesses throughout the state of Florida. After going through Cuba, the storm made its way to the western coast of Florida with an unforgiving storm surge. It gutted the floors of buildings and winds that blew out almost a quarter of Florida’s control. The Category 4 hurricane dropped more than 20 inches of rain. As of Tuesday evening, around 400,573 people in Florida were without power. Hurricane Ian caused the deaths of eight people in Collier District, five in Volusia Province, three in Sarasota District, two in Manatee Province and one each in Lake, Hardee, Hendry, Hillsborough and Polk counties. Hundreds of people are without clean tap water. The hurricane will cost hundreds and thousands of dollars to be able to fix everything that it destroyed in its path. People claim the worst part of the damage was the storm picking things up from the ocean and throwing them onto land; like boats, docks, poles that hold the docks, and more. Eventually hurricane Ian diminished into a tropical storm as it came up towards the South. In SC that Friday it rained all day flooding the streets. It flooded homes and businesses, damaged property, and left thousands without power. In Georgetown SC winds reached up t0 85 mph. Storm surges reached up to 6.42 feet above ground, luckily, so major road and bridge damage was done. Friday afternoon about 240,000 people were out of power. Less than 16,000 people were out of power by Saturday. By Saturday people were out cleaning up the debris in the roads and in their yards. Thank you to everybody who helped the people of Florida pick up their houses and put them back together and thank you to everybody who helped get power back throughout the coast.
