Residents of Florida’s Sanibel Island are warned they could be shocked when they return by boat to set eyes for the first time on the devastation wrought by Hurricane Ian.
Residents of Florida’s Sanibel Island are warned they could be shocked when they return by boat Wednesday to their hard-hit community to set eyes for the first time on the devastation wrought a week ago by Hurricane Ian whose damage zone President Joe Biden is also due to visit today.
But it could take a month or longer just to restore power to some areas of Sanibel and Pine islands, Lee County Electric Cooperative spokesperson Karen Ryan told CNN. “It will be much easier to restore power once we can gain access to the island,” she said. DeSantis directed transportation authorities to prioritize the repair of the Sanibel Causeway.
