Damages boats lie on the land and water in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, Sept. 29, 2022, in Fort Myers, Fla.developed into the monstrous, devastating storm meteorologists predicted it would be.
"The impacts of this storm are historic and the damage that was done has been historic," DeSantis said Thursday morning in his first address since the damage assessments in the southwest portion of the state began. "I think we’ve never seen a flood event like this, we’ve never seen storm surge of this magnitude, and it hit an area where there’s a lot of people in a lot of those low lying areas.
Ian then made a second landfall 90 minutes later, still as a Category 4 storm with 145 mph winds, just south of Punta Gorda, near Pirate Harbor.The devastating wind gusts were widespread throughout the state. Storm surge records were set for both Fort Myers at 7 feet, and Naples, at 6 feet and rising, with locals reporting houses and cars floating in the influx of water.
