President Joe Biden addresses victims of Hurricane Ian in Fort Myers, Fla
The stream has ended.
President Joe Biden traveled to Fort Myers, Florida on Wednesday to address the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
Before the speech, Biden surveyed the storm-devastated areas, received briefings from local officials, and met with local residents and small business owners affected by the hurricane.
Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida a week ago as a Category 4 storm before moving up the eastern US coast. The storm has reportedly killed more than 80 people, although that number is expected to rise as floodwaters recede and rescue teams gain access to new areas.
The hurricane is shaping up to be Florida’s costliest hurricane since Andrew in 1992, with wind and storm surge damage estimated at $28 billion to $47 billion.
