Residents Trapped
Residents of Lee County told various outlets about their experiences with Ian and the challenges of the late evacuation order. Danica Ferguson, a mother of three, told the New York Times that she’d been at her job as a medical assistant when she got the text on Tuesday from the county with evacuation orders; by the time she got home, she “felt there wasn’t enough time” to evacuate. Her family had to shelter on the second floor of their home as water flooded through their living room.
