Our Thoughts and Prayers Remain with the People of Florida
29 Sep 2022
We wish everyone in Florida who’s been impacted by Hurricane Ian — and everyone in the path of its remaining fury in South Carolina, the Georgia coast and specifically Savannah, as well as parts of North Carolina — a speedy recovery.

The situation in Fort Myers FL, does not look good… the camera is 6 feet above ground in a central part of the city…
Ian is the 4th strongest hurricane ever to make landfall in Florida…
I live in Florida … 😭 not in Fort Myers, but in the path in a few hours.

There’s massive water damage in addition to the wind from what Governor DeSantis calls a 500-year flood event. It’s essentially a tsunami flood event coupled with wind stronger than a tornado.
TRACKING IAN: #Ian has now strengthened with winds of around 70 miles per hour. It is now expected to regain Hurricane status as a category 1 over the Atlantic Ocean before making a second landfall in South Carolina. #WVwx pic.twitter.com/PhbFfYKZJH

Temperatures are gonna be hot, up into the eighties or nineties. People do not have power and as there are all sorts of dangers associated with this storm.

So far it has been, from a leadership perspective in the state of Florida, calm, cool, and collected under very trying circumstances for the governor and all the first responders.
