It's been more than a week since Hurricane Ian slammed into Florida, but its effects are still being felt across the state as residents contend with closed schools, power outages, tainted water, destroyed homes and lost loved ones.
The storm hit Florida on September 28 with winds near 150 mph, making it a high-end Category 4 hurricane.
