Millions are left without power and tens of thousands have been forced from their homes into shelters as a hurricane moves out of Florida and moves slowly up the Carolina coast.


In the aftermath of what some are calling the 500-year flood event, the category-4 hurricane Ian brought 150 mph winds and a storm surge from 10 to 12 feet.

As the clean-up begins many residents of Florida may not have a home to go back to. Local rescue teams were having a difficult time getting to those who needed help.

With your help, Florida can begin to recover from Hurricane Ian. The American Red Cross Hurricane Ian Relief site is the best way to assist.
