National Guard troops head to islands cut off by Ian
One hundred troops head to islands in southwestern Florida. Around 50-100 National Guard members have been deployed in the Sunshine State.
On Monday, about 100 National Guard troops headed for barrier islands in Florida that were cut off by Hurricane Ian.
Ian made landfall on Wednesday as a Category 4 storm on the barrier island of Cayo Costa in southwest Florida.
FOX Weather correspondent Max Gorden reported from Southwest Florida International Airport on Monday, which was alive with activity with National Guard troops.

National Guard troops were moving water and other supplies to those hardest hit by Ian in the barrier islands. Large Chinook helicopters could also be seen picking up Humvees and carrying them to those isolated barrier islands for that aid mission.
Thousands of people living on barrier islands were – and remain – cut off from mainland Florida after Hurricane Ian struck.
