The fifth most powerful storm to hit the US mainland has killed at least 32 people across Florida and the Carolina states in the past week.

Hurricane Ian hit Cuba as a strengthening hurricane on 27 September before building to a category 4 hurricane as it crossed the Gulf of Mexico, bringing wind gusts above 150mph into south-western Florida.
