TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Hurricane Ian caused widespread destruction and devastation on its way through Florida last week.

The storm made landfall as a Category 4 storm Sept. 28 on Florida’s southwest coast. Millions were left without power, homes flooded from storm surge, roofs were ripped apart and some roads were impassable due to debris and downed power lines.
