Currently, Hurricane Ian's death toll stands at 34, though that number is expected to climb, and 1.6 million people don't have electricity.
On barrier islands off the state's coast, residents were stranded when parts of the bridgesto the mainland were destroyed. For those trapped Floridians, the only option is to wait for rescue by boat.
“Since this operation started for us just hours after the storm made landfall, we’ve been able to rescue about 325 people and more than 100 pets,” McPherson said. “The good news is that yesterday we saw fewer cases of people that were in urgent need of medical assistance, and really more folks that were just stranded.”
"We had air crews in the air, looking for people that were needing assistance, waving them down from rooftops," he said.
