NEW YORK — At least 99 people in Florida have died due to Hurricane Ian, according to local officials.
Four additional people were also reported dead due to the storm in North Carolina, the governor's office said Saturday.
The causes of the deaths in Florida were primarily drownings, as well as two vehicle accidents and a roofing accident, officials said. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office was among the first to publicly announce a fatality from Ian. A 72-year-old man in Deltona died after attempting to drain his pool during the storm, the office said Thursday.
"I'm afraid we're going to be dealing with a larger loss of life than we anticipated," she said on"ABC News Live" Thursday.
