Ian regains hurricane strength over Atlantic after devastating Florida

Hurricane Ian regained strength and intensified into a Category 1 storm and is heading straight toward Charleston, South Carolina. At least 15 people have died as search and rescue efforts continue in the worst-hit areas in Florida. Fort Myers Fire Chief Tracy McMillion joins AC360 to give an update on how his city is doing and how many rescues his department has done. Plus, Sanibel is an island off the coast of Fort Myers and three sections of the causeway were washed away, cutting if off from the mainland. Gov. Ron DeSantis said the area was hit with a “Biblican storm surge.” Sanibel Mayor Holly Smith tells AC360 how many people she thinks stayed on the island.  To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
