"They don't have nothing": Many in Florida still lack food, running water, electricity after Ian
CBSN
Ruined clothing, furniture and appliances litter neighborhoods in Florida where Hurricane Ian plowed through last week. Many residents still lack food, running water and electricity in the aftermath of the storm, which was one of the strongest to ever hit the nation.
"Now with the storm, they don't have nothing," Miriam Ortiz, who runs a Florida food pantry, said about the Fort Myers community.
The Gladiolus Food Pantry in Fort Myers' Harlem Heights neighborhood usually assists about 850 families each month, Ortiz said. Since Friday, the pantry has served at least 1,600 meals.
