PHILADELPHIA - While the Delaware Valley experiences remnants of Hurricane Ian, residents in Florida are scrambling to clean up and rebuild their communities after the category four storm devastated the sunshine state and killed more than 80 people.
Luckily, hundreds of trained American Red Cross volunteers from Southeastern Pennsylvania are helping Floridians deal with the aftermath.Jennifer Graham, Executive Director for the Delaware Valley Red Cross, flew into Miami and drove across the Gulf Coast.
During her travels, Graham said she could see the damage and debris progress as she got closer to the towns right on the coast. "You start to see debris on the road.
You start to see water on the sides of the road. As you get closer and closer to the coast in some of these really impacted towns, you see furniture outside, people with no power, community members helping community members with water and ice and food.
