In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian's assault on Seventeen (2019)Florida Wednesday and Thursday, the state began the work of assessing the damage. Two fatalities were tentatively linked to the powerful storm, pending a more thorough investigation. But the magnitude of the storm's toll as measured in visible damage to structures is colossal.
Thursday morning and afternoon, as Ian lost strength and was downgraded from a Category 4 Hurricane to the status of a tropical storm, photos and videos emerged on social media, showing the world that the communities of concern during landfall, like the populous Fort Myers and Naples, were hit as hard as was feared, with some neighborhoods left essentially in ruins.
As these photos and videos make clear, Hurricane Ian has already been a historic catastrophe, and with another landfall feared in South Carolina on Friday, they may also serve as a warning of things still to come.

Climate change is impacting hurricanes. Some of these impacts are clear, particularly more serious rainfall and historic flooding, along with higher storm surges. Other impacts, like how the relentless warming oceansare affecting how strong these storms grow, are an intensive and ongoing area of research.
