HURRICANE IAN: SURVIVORS SPEAK OF ‘BRUTAL’ STORM AS FLORIDA COUNTS COST

A huge search and rescue effort is continuing in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, which cut a swathe of destruction across the US state.

At least 10 people have died in the state but officials fear the confirmed toll could rise considerably.
Joe Biden has warned the category one storm could be the deadliest hurricane in Florida’s history, with a “substantial loss of life”.

Ian is now moving inland and heading towards North and South Carolina.
A blackout is still affecting some 2.2 million Florida homes and businesses.
