  • There are animals and snakes around homes that have been destroyed by Hurricane Ian.

  • Sanibel's fire chief told CNN that there are a lot of places that aren't good.

  • There are snakes all over the place.

A local fire official said that there are animals and snakes around homes that have been damaged by Hurricane Ian.

According to the Sanibel Fire Chief, every home on the Barrier island of Sanibel was damaged by the storm.

There are a lot of places that aren't nice to live in. It's very dangerous out there because there are places off their foundation.

He said there are snakes all over the place.

The Sanibel Causeway is the only road that connects the barrier island with the mainland.

1,000 people have been evacuated from Sanibel due to the storm.

Pine Island is dealing with the destruction caused by Ian.

The only way to get food and supplies to the island is by helicopter after the only bridge was destroyed.

There is food being delivered. Is it enough to keep them going for a long time? Lee County Manager Roger Desjarlais said that he couldn't say that yet.

Ian brought winds of 150 miles per hour when it made its way over southwestern Florida, which resulted in the deaths of dozens.

Millions of people were without power in Florida as a result of the storm.

There have been 1,900 rescues in Florida, according to the governor.

There have been more search-and-rescue teams in Florida than ever before.

The power has been restored to more than two million customers.
