Evacuated Residents

Evacuated residents have begun returning to their homes after Hurricane Ian tore through Florida — only to find neighborhoods they no longer recognize.

Boats had been swept inland and were piled on top of each other, with many leaking oil and other chemicals into the water. Homes were missing roofs, others were crushed and scraped down to their foundations. The storm's churning water forever changed the coastline, with tons of sand blown inland. Its winds and storm surge were so powerful that it washed away three parts of Sanibel Causeway, the only way on and off Sanibel Island. It could take months to fix. Army Corps of Engineers Brig. Gen.

We're looking at nursing homes, hospitals," Hibner said. Keri Faught and Jonathan Richards rode out the storm at their house.
