Hurricane Ian: Majority of Deaths Were a Result of Drowning

Hurricane Ian slammed into Florida’s coastline last Wednesday. The Category 4 storm is the second-deadliest storm to hit the United States after Hurricane Katrina, which killed 1,800 people in 2005, and is Florida’s deadliest hurricane since 1935. More than 100 people died, and at least half of those deaths took place in one Florida county.
