The major search for victims of Hurricane Ian ended over the weekend, and residents return to a decimated Fort Myers Beach.
FORT MYERS, Fla. — An army of 42,000 utility workers has restored electricity to more than 2.5 million businesses and homes in Florida since onslaught, and Brenda Palmer’s place is among them. By the government’s count, she and her husband Ralph are part of a success story.
“Everybody says, ‘You can’t save everything, mom,’” she said. “You know, it’s my life. It’s MY life.

But a few miles away, entire families are staying at a mass shelter housing more than 500 storm victims. Relief worker Arlan Fuller says a combination of factors including location, the sturdiness of buildings and peoples’ means determined how well they fared in the storm.
