Hurricane Ian, Death Toll, Topps 40 The death toll from Hurricane Ian, one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the United States, soared above 40 Saturday, as President Joe Biden heads to Florida later in the week to survey the devastation. Shocked Florida communities were only just beginning to face the full scale of the destruction, with rescuers still searching for survivors in submerged neighborhoods and along the state's southwest coast. Homes, restaurants, and businesses were ripped apart when Ian roared ashore as a powerful Category 4 hurricane on Wednesday. The confirmed number of storm-related deaths rose to 44 statewide. The Florida Medical Examiner's Commission said late Saturday, but reports of additional fatalities were still emerging, counting by counting.
