Rescue efforts underway in Central Florida, in the wake of Hurricane Ian
Florida fire marshal said this the worst natural disaster in the state’s history. Ian was just shy of a category five hurricane and has left an irreversible mark on Florida. Now, all that’s left is to try and pick up the pieces.
“The amount of water that’s been rising will likely continue to rise even as the storm is passing, is basically a 500-year flood event,” said Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida. A sheriff’s deputy in Orange County carried off a scared dog. Dramatic video showed a sailboat rescue in Nassau County, almost slipping into the choppy waters.
