The death toll in Florida in the wake of the hurricane rose to 102 Monday, state officials said. A total of 111 people died in the natural disaster, including five people in North Carolina, one in Virginia and three in Cuba.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said over the weekend that leaders in Panama City — where Category 5 Hurricane Michael caused significant damage in 2018 — will be involved in recovery efforts in places hardest hit by Hurricane Ian.
“They’re going to come in, they’re going to inspect, and then they’re going to give some advice to the local officials here in Lee County, Fort Myers Beach, and other places,” DeSantis said. ‘You can do whatever you want. You don’t have to follow their advice. But I tell you it was a great, great effort.”
