Hurricane Ian has torn through a causeway that connects Sanibel Island, Florida, to the mainland US.
Hurricane Ian tore through the only bridge to Sanibel, an island off the coast of Florida
Storm surge driven by powerful winds collapsed a portion of the bridge, dropping portions of pavement into the Gulf of Mexico. ‘I wish it was [fully evacuated]. No, it is not,’ Smith said, according to NBC News. ‘I am aware of numerous individuals that decided to stay on the island.’
