On September 28, 2022 Hurricane Ian made landfall in Southwest Florida as a Category 4 Storm with sustained winds of over 150 mph. Given that in DeSoto County The peace River and Horse Creek were already in flood stage because of a heavy rain season, the devastation to our community has been tremendous.
