President Joe Biden called the natural disaster one of the most devastating in history. The typhoon claimed the lives of 77 people.
The death toll from the devastating Hurricane Ian, which hit the southern United States and the Caribbean, has reached 77 in Florida and North Carolina, and could still rise. At the same time, rescue operations were complicated by power outages, according to NBC News.
As a result of the storm, approximately 1.3 million consumers were left without power, many coastal homes were swept out to sea, and the operation of telecommunications networks and airports were paralyzed.
Earlier, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called the damage to the region from the storm “historic,” and described the flooding of one of the local rivers as an event that happens once every 500 years.
US President Joe Biden believes that Hurricane Ian could be one of the most destructive in US history.
It will be remembered that in Cuba, Hurricane Ian caused large-scale destruction and collapse of the electric power system. About 11 million islanders were left without electricity.
