Katherine Firkin: US Correspondent on death toll rising in US from Hurricane Ian

Published: Oct. 2, 2022, 8:07 p.m.

The death toll from Hurricane Ian has risen to 54 people, including three in Cuba.

The storm caused widespread destruction in parts of Florida, North and South Carolina.

US Correspondent Katherine Firkin told Tim Dower the toll is likely to keep rising in the coming days, with some places still cut off from emergency services.

She says they believe there are still at least a dozen people trapped under rubble, and it's unclear if they're alive or not.
