Hurricane Ian could turn out to be the deadliest hurricane to strike Florida, according to President Joe Biden.

“This could be the deadliest hurricane in Florida’s history. The numbers ... are still unclear, but we’re hearing early reports of what may be substantial loss of life,” Biden said after receiving a briefing at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Response Coordination Center in Washington on Sept. 29, a day after the hurricane made landfall in southwest Florida.
