One week after Hurricane Ian wreaked havoc on Florida, residents are just starting to pick up the pieces in what will be a long road to recovery. On Sanibel Island, one of the barrier islands that was devastated by Ian, residents just received the green light to return to the island to view their homes for the first time since the storm made landfall. President Joe Biden is expected to survey the damage in some of the hardest-hit areas Wednesday, as thousands remain without power.
The death toll climbed Tuesday after growing to 100 Monday, with at least 110 confirmed United States fatalities blamed on Ian. .
