Hurricane Ian disrupted the lives of many millions across the United States and Cuba during its rampage through the Atlantic last month. The path of destruction left behind by the deadly hurricane included everything from homes to tobacco farms in Cuba to citrus farms in Florida. The results have been devastating.
The strong winds and flooding rain from Hurricane Ian destroyed many crops in Florida which increased the total losses and economic impact from Ian, which AccuWeather estimates to be between $180 and $210 billion in the U.S., according to Founder and CEO Dr. Joel N. Myers. Roy Petteway of Petteway Citrus and Cattle was one of many to have his crops impacted by Hurricane Ian.
