Responding to Disaster

Ian made landfall Wednesday, September 28th, 2022 as an "extremely dangerous" hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 150 miles per hour on Florida's southwestern coast near Cayo Costa, an island to the west of Cape Coral, according to the National Hurricane Center. It then shifted north-northeast and made landfall with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph on mainland Florida, barreling northeast across the state. The storm left a path of destruction leaving nearly 2.7 million people without power. Florida’s governor called Ian a “500-year flooding event.”

Kentucky was the worst-hit state by far in an unusual mid-December swarm of twisters across the Midwest and the South that leveled entire communities at the end of 2021. One of the tornadoes was about a mile wide and laid a 128-mile-long path of wreckage – the longest ever recorded. Jentezen Franklin Media Ministries partnered with ministries including Jason Crabb and Dr. Michael Knight to deliver hope, healing, and restoration to hurting people in this time of crisis.
