These images show the devastating effects of Hurricane Ian in Florida. The authorities already confirm at least 21 dead, but the number of victims is expected to be higher. Emergency crews are searching the areas hit by the hurricane to find the bodies of many residents who are missing, and to come to the aid of those who could not leave their homes surrounded by water in time.
1.9 million homes and businesses are still without power after strong winds that lashed the federal state at blistering speeds of more than 200 kilometers per hour knocked out power lines. In its absence, residents turned to gas stations to get gas for heating and cooking, creating long queues of vehicles.
Considered one of the most powerful hurricanes, Ian is already moving north, where it is expected to deepen the damage balance. North South Carolina is next, where the intensity of the winds is expected to be strong again.
