White House: Biden Has Called Mayors in Three Florida Cities as Hurricane Ian Nears

President Joe Biden has called mayors in three Florida cities as hurricane Ian nears the state, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.

The Category 3 hurricane slammed into western Cuba on Tuesday, forcing evacuations, cutting power to nearly 1 million people and tearing roofs off homes as it tracked northward toward Florida, where residents anxiously await the sprawling storm.
