DESANTIS: FLORIDA'S HURRICANE IAN RECOVERY WILL BE ‘24/7 OPERATION’

Hurricane Ian has left a path of destruction in southwest Florida. Many fatalities are expected as the storm left people trapped inside flooded homes. The roof of a hospital intensive care unit was damaged and millions were left without power. 

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called the damage from Ian "historic" during a morning press conference. 

"We've never seen a flood event like this," DeSantis said. The amount of water that's been rising and will likely continue to rise today – even as the storm is passing – is basically a 500-year event."

The storm is continuing north and is expected to impact other states including Georgia and South Carolina. 

Fox News’ Cortney O’Brien and Timothy H.J. Nerozzi contributed to this report.
