Biden: Storm Ian likely among worst in US history

He also said the federal government would cover 100 percent of the cost to clear the massive debris left in the wake of the hurricane, in counties hit by the storm.

On Friday, Hurricane Ian barreled toward South Carolina, a day after carving a path of destruction across the Florida peninsula, washing away houses, destroying a causeway and stranding thousands along the state's Gulf Coast.
