The devastation in Florida from Hurricane Ian is staggering in scope. The massive storm churned across the state leaving wrecked homes and ruined lives in its wake, and it's frankly hard to watch the footage, knowing the depth of the misery people must be feeling. And we don't know the half of it yet. The scope of death and destruction will only become clear as time passes.
Over the next few days, that's all we'll be thinking about, and understandably so. But soon the focus will turn to whether or not the authorities are doing everything they can to mitigate the crisis. After a disaster of this scale there will almost certainly be fingers pointed and backs stabbed in the days to come. Natural disasters, and especially hurricanes, are often political disasters as well and the future of those in charge can be changed in an instant.
