Biden: Hurricane Ian could be 'deadliest' in Florida history

United States President Joe Biden (pictured) said Thursday that Hurricane Ian could be the "deadliest" in the history of the state of Florida.

While in a visit to FEMA headquarters for a briefing on Hurricane Ian, the president warned that early reports indicate that there is a substantial loss of life and material damage. "The numbers… are still unclear, but we're hearing reports of what may be a substantial loss of life," he said.

At the same time, he called on the gas and oil companies not to raise the prices of the commodities in the middle of a sensitive situation. "The United States is watching, and the industry must do the right thing; I hope they do the right thing."
