Nearly a week after Hurricane Ian obliterated communities in Florida, the death toll continues to rise as rescue crews go door-to-door. Hours after Hurricane Ian made landfall, the full extent of damage remained unrealized, unimaginable. The beach towns were the first to go as water and winds up to 150 mph decimated paradise towns from Fort Myers Beach to Punta Gorda. Houses were torn from foundations by water that acted as a conveyor belt. Personal belongings and building materials fused with wet earth. But the wrecked beach towns marked only the beginning. Welcome to ‘AFTER IAN’

The so-called referendums that have been going on for the past five days in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine have come to an end. With all votes reportedly counted, the results show exactly the kind of majority in favor of joining Russia that has prompted many to consider the referendums a ”sham” that violated international law.’ Ukrainian President Zelensky says Moscow plans to annex the regions in Ukraine and will force people to join the Russian military, saying ‘either you are killed, or you kill.’ Welcome to ‘UKRAINE WAR: DAY 216’
