into sharper focus. this picture shows fort meyers beach one of the hardest-hit areas before the hurricane and here it is after. homes wiped out. sea of debris and rubble stretching to the horizon. there is this marina during normal times in fort myers. and then after. a scene of utter destruction. the damage throughout florida. 2 million still without power. it will continue for some time. ten people are confirmed dead thus far. the number may change as search and rescue teams work their way through the flooded neighborhoods. we re moments away as dana mentioned and get an update from the florida governor ron desantis back in tallahassee. team fox coverage. city manager marty lawing is standing by. robert ray is back with us today. we begin with track of ian. adam klotz is in our studio watching that. we still have a hurricane as we remember this storm left the coast of florida as a tropical storm but we ve spent a good chunk of time over the atlantic ocean. winds curren
had a water main break for the county water utility. that means that the county does not have water at this point. and you need that to be able to function in society. they ve requested support from fema and then we fema was able to provide the army corps of engineers and they were on the ground after kevin called them at 3:00 in the morning yesterday. they were on the ground from jacksonville in the afternoon. they ve been working to assessing that situation. we also have florida national guard personnel standing by to help the army corp if they need it. that will be something very critical to be able to get that back. it may require more of a rebuild. maybe it will require some more short term remediation. they are going through that. that s clearly a top priority. we re thankful that fema and the army corps are there helping
fema. thank you, governor. so thank the governor but i want to thank the agencies represented here to my left especially fema administrator and the united states coast guard, others that are not here that are certainly on that floor behind me. lieutenant colonel miller from the u.s. army core out of jacksonville and many other partners. captain, if you can grab that up here. i want to thank them before i covered them up with a sign. we re in the 72 hour area of search, secure, stabilize that i talked about yesterday. everything i want to talk about right now is that about search, secure and stabilize. so we continue to have our fire rescue partners search and rescue going in there and
