Florida Governor’s efforts

Days after the skies cleared and the winds died down in Florida, Hurricane Ian's effects persisted Monday, as people faced another week without power and others were being rescued from homes inundated with lingering floodwaters.

The mid-Atlantic and Northeast coasts were getting flooding rains.The storm's onshore winds piled even more water into an already inundated Chesapeake Bay.At least 78 people have been confirmed dead: 71 in Florida, 4 in North Carolina and 3 in Cuba since Ian made landfall on the Caribbean Island on Sept. 27 and in Florida a day later.

Search and rescue efforts were still ongoing Monday in Florida.Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) Florida, said "Sofar, we've had more than 1,900 rescues in the USAR teams with more than 1,000 personnel have gone door to door to 65 different structures to check on occupants. And those are mostly structures in the really hard hit areas, the barrier islands and the like."

"Our Division of Emergency Management is continuing to bring large quantities of water, food and other sustenance into the area to help everybody get by."  375 of these StarLink, Elon Musk internet devices have been deployed to support Internet access in the impacted areas and also FDOT trucks have been deployed to begin working on the temporary bridge fix for Pine Island, according to the Florida Governor.
