Hurricane Ian has caused significant devastation across the state of Florida but many good Samaritans have risked their lives to help others during the storm.
Multiple videos have gone viral on social media that showcase heroic efforts by individuals during the intense hurricane.
Ian made landfall in Florida on Wednesday as a Category 4 storm, with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph, before it weakened over land. Potentially one of the most severe hurricanes to hit Florida, Ian brought catastrophic flooding to the southwestern tip of the state.
Following the first impacts of the hurricane, an estimated 2.5 million people across Florida were hit with power outages according to PowerOutage.us, a website that tracks blackouts across the country.
As of Friday morning, there were 10 confirmed deaths from the storm, according to a BBC report. Florida officials have warned the actual figure could be considerably higher.
„So, while I don’t have confirmed numbers, I definitely know fatalities are in the hundreds. There are thousands of people waiting to be rescued,“ said Marceno.
