Hurricane Ian: Stories from the Storm - 6069

Hurricane Ian: Stories from the Storm is a collection of interviews with people who were caught up in the storm when it hit Florida on September 28th, 2022. It includes first-hand accounts of people who were forced to fight for their lives after their homes collapsed and washed away. They floated away on the roofs of homes, stood on furniture as the surge waters invaded their homes, drove in cars with surge waters up to their windshield, and more. You will see in detail why so many people lost their lives and the changes needed to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again. This book includes an analysis from a top Florida meteorologist about why the forecast was flawed and what can be done to correct future forecasting models. You will hear from the storm chaser who recorded the historic storm surge video of a house on Fort Myers Beach being washed away with a young couple inside. They survived and that video is now a model for scientists and engineers to study for years to come. You will meet the heroes who emerged from nowhere to save people trapped in cars and homes. You will hear how the storm affected wildlife, local landmarks and businesses. You will learn why first responders are kept inside once sustained winds reach 45 mph. You will hear why so many people stay when these storms come roaring ashore. This book will also include valuable information if you ever find yourself caught in a natural disaster like a flash flood or storm surge. And finally, you will meet the everyday people working hard to recover from an event that changed their lives forever. I wrote this book to capture all of these stories because I think they can save lives and to preserve them before they fade from memory. Each story is designed to teach you a lesson about how planning, common sense, and remaining calm can save your life in a crisis.
