this is by far the worst storm i ve ever witnessed. there s just debris everywhere. my yard looks like a war zone. this was a bad. one ian was bad, so if it was tough on our region, will be actually looking at this for many years to come. good evening once again. i m stephanie ruhle. hurricane ian is now threatening georgia and the carolinas and it s expected to make landfall just a few hours from now. this is what eon did to southwest florida after it slammed into the coast over 24 hours ago, totaling 115 miles per hour winds and catastrophic storm surge. at least one many people have been reported killed, and brought epic rain and flooding to the central part of the state. hundreds of people have been rescued, that work continues overnight. over 2 million homes and businesses are without power. today president biden visited fema s headquarters in washington, d.c. and said federal aid is on its way to florida. this could be the deadliest hurricane in florida s histor
at least 12 people have been reported killed, and it brought epic rain and flooding to the central part of the state. hundreds of people have been rescued, that work continues overnight. over 2 million homes and businesses are without power. today president biden visited fema s headquarters in washington, d. c. and said federal aid is on its way to florida. this could be the deadliest hurricane in florida s history. when conditions allow it, i ll gonna be going to florida. will you be talking to florida ron desantis when you re down there? the answer is yes if he wants to see. let s go right to nbc meteorologist, michelle grossman. i know michelle, that we got the 11 pm update from the national weather center just moments ago. what did you learn? hi there stephanie great to see you. well it s strengthened even further, so back to a category one storm. we re looking at 80 mile per hour winds. it did weaken earlier this morning to a tropical storm, dropped into the at
