ST. LOUIS — Red Cross volunteers from Missouri are now in Florida to help as Hurricane Ian barrels toward the Gulf Coast.
It’s been a busy few weeks for the Red Cross.
“It seems like everything just hit within the last couple of weeks with the typhoon in Alaska, the hurricane in Puerto Rico, and then the wildfires out west,” Sharon Watson with the Red Cross said.
And now Hurricane Ian is expected to hit Florida.
“The wind is always a difficult aspect of it, water of course. So you have wind and water damage combined. And that, a lot of times, is putting people completely out of their homes, maybe their homes are completely gone,” Watson said.
