The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contractors in Fort Myers installed the first temporary “Blue Roof” in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
“This storm was devastating,“ said Fort Myers resident Barbara Powell-Wring. “I’ve been through three storms, and this one was the worst I’ve ever [seen]. I want to thank everyone that was involved in helping me today, I thank God for you all.”
When Hurricane Ian hit, Powell-Wring wasn’t sure her home had a roof anymore, as she could hear the heavy winds pounding as if the roof tore off.
