Nishelle Harris-Miles, 40, had traveled to Fort Myers, Florida, to celebrate her birthday, reports say.
DAYTON, Ohio — A Dayton woman who traveled to Florida with family members and a friend last week to celebrate her 40th birthday was killed when Hurricane Ian made landfall, according to reports.
Maston tells WLWT that the group called 911 and 211 seeking help but rescuers were unable to respond during the storm, which was a Category 4 hurricane when it made landfall Wednesday in Florida with sustained winds of 150 mph. With the death toll rising, Deanne Criswell, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said the federal government was ready to help in a huge way, focusing first on victims in Florida, which took the brunt of one of the strongest storms to make landfall in the United States. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden plan to visit the state on Wednesday.
