Hurricane Ian - Storm barrels toward South Carolina as death toll in Florida grows

President Joe Biden said that Ian could be responsible for “substantial loss of life” and could end up being the deadliest storm in Florida history.
More than 2 million customers in Florida were without power early Friday two days after Hurricane Ian slammed into the state, killing at least 12.

Meanwhile, the storm, which hit Florida’s southwest coast as a Category 4 hurricane Wednesday, strengthened back into a hurricane after being downgraded to a tropical storm as it barreled towards South Carolina's coast. Ian is expected to make landfall in state later Friday.

More than 2.2 million customers remained without power across Florida, while many communities have had to contend with widespread flooding, destroyed homes and devastation.
