Relief Storms into Florida Amidst Hurricane Ian's Devastation
- By Marjorie Jackson - The Washington Stand
Though the initial Category 4 hurricane sweeping the southwestern coast has been downgraded to a Category 1 as of Thursday morning, Ian is still wreaking havoc in the lives of Floridians, with rainy repercussions expected to ripple out to neighboring states and along the east coast.
As federal and state relief teams mobilize meals, hospitals, generators, and the like, leaders warn that the situation at hand is no joking matter. “This could be the deadliest storm in Florida history. The numbers we have are still unclear, but we’re hearing early reports of what may be substantial loss of life,” President Joe Biden said of the declared tropical disaster at a FEMA press briefing this afternoon. The state’s governor, Ron DeSantis (R), emphasized the devastating effect of the situation, stating in Thursday’s press conference that, “The impacts of this storm are historic, and the damage that was done has been historic.”
FEMA and Partners Warn of Potentially Catastrophic Impacts from Tropical Systems

WASHINGTON – Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center predict a life-threatening storm surge and flash flooding could occur along portions of North and South Carolina with Hurricane Florence’s landfall.
Several mandatory and voluntary evacuation orders were ordered Monday and Tuesday along the east coast.
“If you are told to evacuate and do not do so, you need to realize you are putting your life in danger,” said FEMA Administrator Brock Long. “This storm is not to be taken lightly. The entire states of North and South Carolina could be heavily impacted by this storm. People do not live to tell the tale of surviving storm surge. It’s the most deadly part of the hurricane that comes in and it causes the most destruction.”
