When it stormed across Florida on Wednesday, Hurricane Ian made an extraordinary impact on the state, and some of the videos that surfaced online have had an equally extraordinary impact on those everywhere around the country following the storm’s destructive path. These videos stand as a testament to what those faced with a terrifying hurricane went through and show a range of dramatic events, including people rescuing people, a person rescuing an animal and the tremendous damage caused by the storm.
A video of a man rescuing a cat during Hurricane Ian’s pass through the west coast of Florida on Wednesday racked up more than 173,000 likes and 18,000 retweets in less than 24 hours – and it’s easy to see why. Megan Cruz Scavo of Naples tweeted the video of her boyfriend walking against the storm winds to reach over to a cat that had been left without shelter amid rapidly-rising storm surge waters.
