strong wind shakes like a palm tree.
As the rain poured down, the garden with green grass turned into a swimming pool, and luxury houses by the sea became a sea of water.
The entire village was submerged, flooding the underground parking lot and engulfing cars.
Hurricane Ion, which made landfall in Florida with a magnitude of 4 in local time, was observed as a super-massive hurricane approaching grade 5 even just before landing.
On a scale of 1 to 5, the higher the number, the stronger the hurricane. So far, only two typhoons have made landfall with a rating of 5 in the past 30 years.
Ion swept through Cuba with a level 3, which is somewhat weaker than it is now, but the destructive power was so strong that the power grid collapsed, causing power outages throughout Cuba.
President Biden raised awareness in his speech.
[Joe Biden/President of the United States: This hurricane is incredibly dangerous.
Hurricane warnings are real.
Evacuation orders are also real.
The hurricane risk is real.]
As the hurricane struck, nearly 100,000 homes suffered power outages, and Florida's airports were shut down.
[Airport Staff: The airport is now closed.
Please move them all to the food court area.
The airport is not a shelter.]
[Airport customer: I know that, but I can't go home right now.
They're stuck at the airport.]
With Hurricane Ion expected to take two days to get out of Florida, evacuation orders have been issued for residents of the area where Hurricane struck.
