Ian made landfall on the Gulf Coast of Florida on September 28, after making landfall in Cuba the day prior.

On Thursday, the death toll from Hurricane Ian reached triple digits.

In the eight days following the hurricane making landfall in southwest Florida, the number of storm-related fatalities has increased to at least 101.

According to the Florida Medical Examiners Commission, 92 of the total number of deaths occurred in Florida.

Other storm-related fatalities include one in Virginia, three in Cuba, and five in North Carolina.

Ian made landfall on the Gulf Coast of Florida on September 28, after making landfall in Cuba the day prior.

The storm crossed Florida and proceeded into the Atlantic before making a second landfall in South Carolina and then advancing into the mid-Atlantic states.

Ian is the second-deadliest storm to strike the U.S. mainland in the 21st century, after Hurricane Katrina, which killed over 1,800 people in 2005.

The Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900 was the deadliest hurricane to strike the United States, killing as many as 8,000 people.

Ian, a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 150 miles per hour, poured deluges of precipitation and caused widespread flooding and devastation.

The rainfall transformed streets into gushing rivers, backyard streams flooded into neighborhoods by more than a dozen feet at times, and boats were tossed into yards and highways.

As ocean surges pushed shorelines far inland, beaches vanished.

President Joe Biden toured some hurricane-ravaged parts of Florida on Wednesday, first by air and then on foot with Governor Ron DeSantis.

The democratic president and the republican governor vowed to set aside their political differences to aid in the rebuilding of homes, companies, and lives.

Mr. Biden emphasized to local leaders at a briefing that the effort could take years.
