As soon as it touched the ground, the hurricane caused significant flooding, deroofed houses, destroyed signs and lampposts and forced the closure of a bridge. More than a million homes were left without electricity, reported the specialized website PowerOutage, which records power cuts in the United States.
Brazilians post videos straight from Florida
Brazilians who live in the regions where Ian is expected to pass posted videos on TikTok showing preparations and care taken to face any danger, following the warning from local authorities.
@diegoforteess Today I practically went in search of food and, in search of survival😂 why this despair? If the hurricane enters Florida in the category you are talking about, it could happen that the power goes out and we are left without internet among other things, which is why people are terrified to stock up on as much food as possible! #hurricane #hurricanean #hurricane2022 ♬ original sound – Diegofortes
