Rescuers searched for survivors among the ruins of Florida's flooded homes from Hurricane Ian while authorities in South Carolina waited for daylight to assess damage from its strike there as the remnants of one of the strongest and costliest hurricanes to ever hit the U.S. continued to push north.The remnants of Ian are charging up the East Coast on Saturday after making landfall as a Category 1 hurricane in South Carolina on Friday afternoon.
This week, Ian left a trail of destruction felt most intensely in Florida's southwestern coastal communities, including Fort Myers and Naples. Tampa, Orlando and cities along Florida's northeastern coast were also impacted by downpours and high winds. Across the state, more than 1.3 million homes and businesses were still in the dark early Saturday.
"It was a Category 1 hurricane, but we experienced tremendous storm surge today, probably beyond what most people anticipated," Mayor Brian Henry told CNN's Jake Tapper on Friday. In Horry County, where North Myrtle Beach in located, crews began removing debris left by the storm. Officials are urging residents to remain home and to not drive.
