As Hurricane Ian gains strength and prepares to strike South Carolina and Virginia, officials in Florida have reported that at least 10 people have died as a result of the storm throughout the state.
Hurricane Ian, one of the most powerful storms recorded in the US, made landfall on the Florida coast on Wednesday. Visuals from the hurricane show reporters getting swept away and sharks swimming in the streets.
"Hurricane Ian’s catastrophic winds will mean parts of our system will need to be rebuilt – not restored. Be prepared for widespread, extended outages as we are assessing the damage," Florida Power & Light said.
