Nearly 600,000 homes and businesses still without electricity

Several days after skies cleared and winds died down in Florida, the impact of Hurricane Ian was still being felt on Monday, when some victims may be without power for another week and others had to be rescued from homes flooded by waters that refused to recede.

The storm continues to move up the east coast of the United States and dump heavy rains there. Meteorologists have warned that offshore winds blowing towards land could push even more water into an already flooded Chesapeake Bay. Virginia's Hampton Roads area could be hit with its worst flooding in a decade.

The cities of Norfolk and Virginia Beach have declared states of emergency, pending Monday's magnitude of tides. Coastal flooding is possible in North Carolina from the Outer Banks to Long Island.

The death toll stands at at least 68: 61 in Florida, four in North Carolina and three in Cuba, where Ian made landfall on September 27.

Relief efforts continued Monday in Florida. More than 1,600 people have already been rescued across the state, Florida officials say.

Fort Myers Beach Mayor Ray Murphy told the NBC network that those affected who have been evacuated generally cannot yet return home, as relief operations will continue for a few more days.

Washed-out bridges, flooded roads, sporadic cell service, a lack of running water, and power and internet outages have left hundreds of thousands of people nearly cut off from the world. The situation in some places may not improve for several days, as the rivers overflow and the rain that has fallen has nowhere to flow.

Some 600,000 homes and businesses remained without power across Florida as of Monday morning, up from 2.6 million at the height of the crisis. The authorities hope to have reconnected customers whose electricity infrastructure is intact by Sunday, but they have warned that this infrastructure will have to be rebuilt in some places.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are expected in Florida on Wednesday.

In Virginia, bad weather forced the US Navy to postpone the deployment of the country's most sophisticated aircraft carrier, the USS  Gerald R Ford , which was due to sail from Norfolk on Monday to participate in NATO exercises in the Pacific.

Fifty Venezuelans sent to Martha's Vineyard

About 50 Venezuelan immigrants seeking asylum in the United States landed Wednesday afternoon on the island of Martha's Vineyard, off Cape Cod. And it wasn't for sightseeing. Lost and flabbergasted, these people were in spite of themselves at the heart of a political quarrel between Democrats and Republicans on the thorny question of American immigration policies. They met at Martha's Vineyard on the initiative of the Republican Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, who wanted to lecture the Democrats whose more liberal policies on irregular immigrants are irritating the opposing camp. “Residents of Martha's Vineyard should be thrilled,” quipped Christina Pushaw, a member of Mr. DeSantis' team, on Twitter. Illegal aliens will make the city more diverse, which is a strength. Nope ? » Irregular or not, the Venezuelans have received help from the inhabitants of Martha's Vineyard, an island known to be frequented by stars from all walks of life. "The community has

Suffering from cancer, Jane Fonda denounces the inequality of access to care in the United States, “aware” of being “privileged”

 The actress published a very political message in which she regrets that many "Americans do not have" access to the quality care she receives and also denounces the role of pesticides in cancer. "My dear friends, I have something personal that I want to share". It is with her words that the American actress and activist Jane Fonda announced, Friday, September 2, that she was suffering from cancer on the social network Instagram. The 84-year-old, however, said she was optimistic about her chances of recovery. "I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma", a cancer of the lymphatic system, "and started chemotherapy treatments ", she continued on her Instagram account. "It's a completely curable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky," she immediately put into perspective.  But Jane Fonda also took advantage of the announcement of her personal state of health to send a very political message. By the way, the American

Four astronauts back on earth aboard a SpaceX capsule

Four astronauts returned to Earth aboard a SpaceX capsule on Friday, ending their nearly six-month mission to the International Space Station with a splashdown in the Atlantic off Florida. Wet and windy weather in Florida delayed their return to Earth. SpaceX and NASA finally gave the green light on Friday, and the astronauts were able to leave the International Space Station, their residence since April. The capsule parachuted into the ocean off Jacksonville, Florida about five hours after leaving the ISS. She carried American NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren, Bob Hines and Jessica Watkins, the first black woman to complete a long-duration spaceflight, as well as Italian Samantha Cristoforetti from the European Space Agency. SpaceX delivered their replacements last week. Before leaving the station, the astronauts said they were looking forward to drinking a cold drink, eating pizza and ice cream, taking a shower, enjoying nature and, of course, reuniting with their families. NASA plans
