Fort Myers Beach, Florida, acts as a barrier island on the southwestern side of Florida. Fort Myers sustained extensive damage after Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 28th. Boats were washed up into neighborhoods and some buildings were gone entirely. The buildings that did remain standing had their entire first floor destroyed. The Ney York times was able to identify 400 buildings as visibly damaged through a survey of photographs and videos of the Hurricane Ian's aftermath.

Wyoming’s governor, Mark Gordon revealed the production of a nuclear power plant designed with the world’s first Natrium reactor. A Natrium reactor is a small modular reactor (SMR), whereas most nuclear power plants contain a large reactor. Large reactors can result in multi-billion-dollar investment and long-term production. With SMR production, cost-saving is guaranteed due to smaller size and designed to replace coal-fired plants.
