In Naples, Hurricane Ian brings dramatic rescues and staggering loss

Description: Steve Mitchell moved around in the dark.

The 80-year-old sipped vodka from a paper cup inside apartment 206 at the Venetian Bayview condominiums on Friday night, only the light of a phone illuminating the unfamiliar space.

The power was out, and he was about to spend another night sleeping upright in his wheelchair. But at least he was dry.

He recalled the terror of two nights earlier.

When Hurricane Ian’s storm surge raged through downtown Naples on Wednesday, Mitchell watched as water seeped into the first-floor apartment he had called home for more than 15 years. He’d waited out Hurricane Irma in this apartment. Besides, he had no way to leave.

As fish passed his window, Mitchell thought the flooding had to stop soon.

That’s when neighbors picked him up and dragged him up the steps of the complex. He is 6 foot 3 and 285 pounds. It took an hour.

Description: Days after Hurricane Ian carved a path of destruction from Florida to the Carolinas, the dangers persisted, and even worsened in some places.

It was clear the road to recovery from this monster storm will be long and painful.

At least 68 people have been confirmed dead: 61 in Florida, four in North Carolina and three in Cuba.

With the death toll rising, Deanne Criswell, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said the federal government was ready to help in a huge way, focusing first on victims in Florida, which took the brunt of one of the strongest storms ever to make landfall in the United States.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden plan to visit the state on Wednesday.

Flooded roadways and washed-out bridges to barrier islands left many people isolated amid limited cellphone service and a lack of basic amenities such as water, electricity and the internet.

Officials warned that...

Title: NOAA releases aerials of Florida hurricane damage
Runtime: 0:50
Date posted: 4 years ago
Description: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released aerial images from the coast around Fort Myers, Florida showing damage from Hurricane Ian.

Ian had come ashore Wednesday on Florida's Gulf Coast as a monstrous Category 4 hurricane, one of the strongest storms ever to hit the U.S.

It flooded homes on both the state's coasts, cut off the only road access to a barrier island, destroyed a historic waterfront pier and knocked out electricity to 2.6 million Florida homes and businesses — nearly a quarter of utility customers. Some 2.1 million of those customers remained in the dark days afterward.

In the Fort Myers area, the hurricane ripped homes from their slabs and deposited them among shredded wreckage. Businesses near the beach were completely razed, leaving twisted debris. Broken docks floated at odd angles beside damaged boats. Fires smoldered on lots where houses once stood.

Rescue crews piloted boats through inunda...

Description: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a news conference that power failures from Hurricane Ian are significant.

Two counties, Lee and Charlotte, "are basically off the grid at this point," the governor said Thursday morning, and will likely have to rebuild the power structure.

"We've never seen storm surge of this magnitude," 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 flooding event," he said.

DeSantis said he will ask the federal government to expand its emergency declaration to cover counties in central Florida that are also reporting damage.

Ian nears Florida landfall with 155 mph winds

Title: Ian nears Florida landfall with 155 mph winds
Runtime: 1:07
Date posted: 4 years ago
Description: Hurricane Ian's most damaging winds began hitting Florida's southwest coast Wednesday, lashing the state with heavy rain and pushing a devastating storm surge after strengthening to just shy of the most dangerous Category 5 status.

Fueled by warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico, Ian grew to a catastrophic Category 4 hurricane overnight with top winds of 155 mph (250 kph). That's according to the National Hurricane Center.

The storm trudged on a track to make landfall north of the heavily populated Fort Myers area, which forecasters said could be inundated by a storm surge of up to 18 feet (5.5 meters).

"This is going to be a nasty nasty day, two days," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday morning, stressing that people in Ian's path along the coast should rush to the safest possible shelter and stay there.

Description: Officials are warning Floridians of the dangers ahead as Hurricane Ian nears landfall at close to Category 5 speed.

The massive storm appeared on track to slam ashore somewhere north of Fort Myers and some 125 miles (201 kilometers) south of Tampa, sparing the bay area from a rare direct hit from a hurricane.

The area is popular with retirees and tourists drawn to pristine white sandy beaches and long barrier islands, which forecasters said could be completely inundated.

Catastrophic storm surges could push as much as 12 to 18 feet (3.7 to 5.5 meters) of water over a nearly 100-mile (160-kilometer) stretch of coastline, from Bonita Beach north through Fort Myers and Charlotte Harbor to Englewood, the hurricane center warned. Rainfall near the area of landfall could top 18 inches (46 centimeters).

Description: Hurricane Ian rapidly intensified off Florida's southwest coast Wednesday morning, gaining top winds of 155 mph (250 kph), just shy of the most dangerous Category 5 status.

Damaging winds and rain lashed the state's heavily populated Gulf Coast, with the Naples to Sarasota region at "highest risk" of a devastating storm surge.

Ian was centered about 65 miles (105 kilometers) west-southwest of Naples at 7 a.m., swirling toward the coast at 10 mph (17 kph).

"This is going to be a nasty, nasty day, two days," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday morning, stressing that people in Ian's path along the coast should rush to the safest possible shelter and stay there.

"Do what you need to do to stay safe," he said. "If you are where that storm is approaching, you're already in hazardous conditions. It's going to get a lot worse very quickly. So, please hunker down."

Description: Hurricane Ian tore into western Cuba on Tuesday as a major hurricane, with nothing to stop it from intensifying into a catastrophic Category 4 storm before it hits Florida, where officials ordered 2.5 million people to evacuate before it crashes ashore Wednesday.

Ian made landfall at 4:30 a.m. EDT Tuesday in Cuba's Pinar del Rio province, where officials set up 55 shelters, evacuated 50,000 people, rushed in emergency personnel and took steps to protect crops in Cuba's main tobacco-growing region.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center said "significant wind and storm surge impacts" were occurring Tuesday morning in western Cuba. Ian's sustained top winds were 125 mph (205 kmh) and as much as 14 feet (4.3 meters) of storm surge was predicted along Cuba's coast.

Ian was forecast to strengthen even more over warm Gulf of Mexico waters, reaching top winds of 140 mph (225 kmh) as it approaches the Florida's southwest coast.

Description: A Texas sheriff on Monday opened an investigation into two flights of migrants sent to Martha's Vineyard by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, but did not say what laws may have been broken in putting 48 Venezuelans on private planes last week from San Antonio.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, an elected Democrat, railed against the flights that took off in his city as "political posturing".

But he said investigators had so far only spoken to attorneys representing some of the migrants and did not name any potential suspects who might face charges.

He also did not mention DeSantis in a news conference that appeared to mark the first time a law enforcement official has said they would look into the flights.

Title: Balloon sculptures and paintings at Creative Pinellas showcase this local artist
Runtime: 2:33
Date posted: 4 years ago
Description: The latex balloon sculptures hover in a room at The Gallery at Creative Pinellas, filling the cavernous space. In another space in the building, large-scale paintings on unstretched canvases layered with hand-written text beckon, while smaller colorful paintings fill the rest of the rooms.

These comprise “Darkmatter,” a showcase of St. Petersburg-based multidisciplinary artist Jason Hackenwerth’s work. It also includes a retrospective of 50 drawings and photographs from Hackenwerth’s exhibitions over the past 20 years. The gallery’s large space gave Hackenwerth his first opportunity to show the breadth of his artistic practice.

If you are a young adult in Tampa Bay, you might open your eyes behind aviators at the House of Hennessy, the storied Super Bowl home with a whole pirate ship. This rural estate once hosted everyone from Cuba Gooding Jr. to DJ Khaled.

Title: Bucs defeat Cowboys in Week 1, injury updates are promising
Runtime: 5:24
Date posted: 4 years ago
Description: For the second straight year, Tampa Bay picked up a win in Week 1 over the Dallas Cowboys. Despite scoring only one touchdown, the Bucs' offense managed enough points to get the job done, while the defense was dominant, holding the Cowboys to just 3 points. Chris Godwin and Donovan Smith both left the game early with injuries, but neither seem to be as serious as feared.

Florida Democrat leads another US delegation visit to Taiwan amid tensions

Title: Florida Democrat leads another US delegation visit to Taiwan amid tensions
Runtime: 2:20
Date posted: 4 years ago
Description: Another US congressional delegation is visiting Taiwan as tensions with China remain high over its claims to the self-governed island.

Led by Florida Democrat Stephanie Murphy, the delegation met Thursday morning with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, whose administration China has relentlessly sought to deprive of diplomatic recognition and participation in international organizations.

Referring to China's military threats, Tsai said the delegation's visit "conveys rock solid support for Taiwan from the US Congress."

"Taiwan will not bow to pressure or coercion," Tsai said. "We will defend our democratic institutions and way of life. Taiwan will not back down."

Murphy replied that Congress "should advocate for greater Taiwanese participation in international organizations."

Queen Elizabeth II: Longest-reigning UK Monarch dies

Title: Queen Elizabeth II: Longest-reigning UK Monarch dies
Runtime: 2:35
Date posted: 4 years ago
Description: Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and a rock of stability across much of a turbulent century, has died. She was 96.

Buckingham Palace made the announcement in a statement.

A link to the almost-vanished generation that fought World War II, she was the only monarch most Britons have ever known, and her name defines an age: the modern Elizabethan Era. The impact of her loss will be huge, and unpredictable, both for the nation and for the monarchy, an institution she helped stabilize and modernize across decades of huge social change and family scandals.

With the death of the queen, her son Charles, automatically becomes monarch, even though the coronation might not take place for months. It is not known whether he will choose to call himself King Charles III or some other name.

Guests entering through the front door will walk by glass gates that keep kittens from sneaking out.
