A week and a half after Hurricane Ian tore across the Florida peninsula as one of the strongest storms in U.S. history, residents continue to grapple with the devastation left in the aftermath. The storm resulted in the deaths of at least 123 Floridians, with Lee County suffering the worst with 59 deaths.

With estimates of damages reaching upwards of $50 billion, financing the rebuilding effort is already proving to be a challenge. For more inland communities impacted by the storm, many residents are discovering their home insurance policies do not cover flood damage, leaving many hoping for additional federal relief aid that could take months to be approved.

Applying for and acquiring available FEMA aid has proved to be a challenge for individuals left homeless by the storm, many of whom are living in shelters and converted gymnasiums that have opened their doors to the dislocated residents.

Outlets on the right have covered state officials’ warnings to looters far more heavily, with Fox News (Right Bias) reporting that six people had been arrested on suspicion of looting. Outlets on the left have been more likely to connect the storm’s strength to climate change, with CNN (Left Bias) reporting that FEMA flood maps underestimate threat levels faced by increasingly intense storms. Newsweek (Center Bias) reported on rebuilding work being done by migrant workers that traveled to the state in the aftermath of the storm.
