Four days after Hurricane Ian made landfall, clean-up efforts from the catastrophic storm continues in Lee County.
Florida Task Force Two, made up of first responders from Miami, is still looking for survivors who may be alive, trapped below the rubble on Fort Myers Beach, but even they know time is running out.
“We know in the first 48 hours that is your greatest opportunity to save a life,” said Miami Fire Chief Joseph Zahralban.
Some residents are now living in a parking lot after losing everything, while others are still waiting to hear from friends.
“No telling where she is,” resident Howard Roux said of his friend Diane Dyke, who he has not heard from since the storm hit. “Whether she got swept up by the current or managed stay in the house somewhere, somehow.”
