The Latest Breaking News from Ida

Ten Filipino men who worked for a major offshore oil industry employer under federally granted visas claim in a federal lawsuit they were treated like prisoners at a company bunkhouse and that some of them were abandoned there when Hurricane Ida struck the Louisiana Gulf Coast in August 2021

Florida’s homeowners shell out thousands, even tens of thousands, for property insurance to protect themselves from fierce storms like Hurricane Ian.

Making landfall earlier this week on the west coast of Florida, Hurricane Ian’s near Category 5 intensity left behind terrible devastation, leveling homes, bringing life-threatening flooding and leaving millions without power.

Approximately 1 million properties in Florida's west coast, including Naples and Punta Gorda, could sustain significant damage caused by Hurricane Ian, totaling $258 billion in replacement costs, according to an analysis released Monday by Core Logic.
