The Florida Department of Law Enforcement said on Sunday that 58 people died from Hurricane Ian with the majority of deaths occurring in hard-hit Lee County.
As officials continue their search, it is likely the death toll will rise.
Lee County officials say it takes 41 hours to fully evacuate areas prone to storm surge due to traffic. “Everyone wants to focus on a plan that might have been done differently. I'm gonna tell you I stand 100% with my county commissioners, my county manager. We did what we had to do at the exact same time. I wouldn't have changed anything,” Marceno said.“It's is easy to second-guess them, but they were ready for the whole time and made that call when there was justifiable to do so,” DeSantis told CNN.
