An aftermath of hurricane Ian

Hurricane Ian swept through Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina states last Wednesday.

At least 109 people have been reported killed by the hurricane in the U.S., with 105 of those deaths in Florida and 55 of them in Lee County. 

The storm slammed into Florida as a furious Category 4 hurricane last Wednesday. Days later, some residents of island communities are cut off from the mainland, hundreds of thousands of people are without power and many Floridians have found themselves homeless./.
