Hurricane Ian hit Florida on Wednesday with winds up to 155mph, causing severe damage and leaving parts of the state underwater.
On Thursday, five deaths were confirmed in Fort Myers due to the hurricane, which was marked as a Category four storm when it reached land. Although it has since been downgraded to a tropical storm, conditions are still dangerous, with Florida governor Ron DeSantis describing it as a “500-year flood event” that left main infrastructures in southwest parts of the state damaged.
