Now weakened to a post-tropical cyclone, Ian was expected to move across North Carolina then into Virginia and New York.
At least 31 people were confirmed dead, including 27 people in Florida mostly from drowning but others from the storm’s tragic aftereffects. An elderly couple died after their oxygen machines shut off when they lost power, authorities said.
South Carolina’s Pawleys Island, a beach community about 73 miles up the coast from Charleston, was among the places hardest hit by Ian, and power remained knocked out to at least half of the island Saturday. The Pawleys pier was one of at least four along South Carolina’s coast to be destroyed during Ian’s winds and rain. Portions of the pier, including barnacle-covered pylons, littered the beach. The intracoastal waterway was littered with the remnants of several boat houses torn apart and knocked off their pilings in the storm.
John Joseph, whose father built the family’s beige beach house in 1962, said Saturday that he was elated to return from Georgetown -- which took a direct hit — to find his Pawleys Island home entirely intact. At least one fatality connected to the storm was reported in Johnston County, outside of Raleigh. A woman found her husband dead early Saturday after he went to check on a generator running in their garage overnight, sheriff’s office Capt. Jeff Caldwell said.
