For Public Defenders who serve in coastal areas, the story on toady's show will be all too familiar. As Hurricane Ian barrelled toward the Florida coast, a state of emergency was declared and evacuation plans started to come together, but as is almost always the case, no one thought of those incarcerated.   Today, Hunter spoke with Kathy Smith, Chief Public Defender in the 20th Judicial District of Florida, to discuss the impacts of the storm on those left in jail. Dating as far back as memory allows, state's failed their obligations to protect the lives of people both in and out of jail when natural disasters strike, and Hurricane Ian was no exception. For days, people, many of whom were in jail simply because they could not afford to pay bail, lived with raw sewage and without clean drinking water.   Luckily, no one died from the state's neglect, but this episode serves as a powerful warning and reminder for those with a duty to protect people's lives: when a natural disaster strikes, remember the people who cannot evacuate and think of a way to keep them alive.     Guest: Kathy Smith, Chief Public Defender, 20th Judicial District, Florida Key Takeaways: How Kathy got into this work [6:50] Historical response to natural disasters in the 20th District [10:50] The response to Hurricane Ian in the 20th District [12:34] Who was in the Ft Meyer's jail and what conditions did they face [18:27] Why pre-trial release is so important [24:42] Impacts and the way forward after Ian [26:41] Does Florida care about the Constitution or just the part it likes? [31:00] Changes for the Future [34:43] People arrested during the storm [38:00] Advice to other Public Defenders [41:20] Resources: USA Today Coverage of those left behind after Ian More Coverage on Ian Miami New Times Coverage   People left in prison during: Hurricane Katrina Hurricane Harvey Hurricane Michael Hurricane Sandy Hurricane Ike, Maria, Matthew, Irene etc.   Contact Hunter Parnell:   hwparnell@publicdefenseless.com   Instagram   Twitter   www.publicdefenseless.com

As Hurricane Ian batters Florida after knocking out Cuba's entire electrical grid Tuesday, more than 300,000 Puerto Ricans were still without power after Hurricane Fiona hit the island over a week ago. It's drawn parallels to Hurricane Maria, which devastated the island five years ago. With what could be the sixth costliest hurricane in the U.S., response, rescue and repair will likely dwarf support for Puerto Rico, which is still recovering from last week's Hurricane Fiona.  Still languishing government response keeps artists and activists like Bad Bunny busy spreading the word about government corruption. Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny has been using his platform to bring awareness to Puerto Rico's political problems. In the latest official music video from the Boricua reggaeton star, Bad Bunny cuts between his song “El Apagón” (the blackout) and a documentary.   The film, by freelance journalist Bianca Graulau, highlights the devastation caused by the displacement of Puerto Ricans due to gentrification and government corruption. The Takeaway speaks with Graulau about her reporting and her work with one of the biggest artists in the world right now.

As Hurricane Ian bears down on Florida, the media is blaming the greater frequency of hurricanes on climate change...just a few weeks after claiming the lack of hurricanes this season was because of climate change.

Hurricane Ian tore into western Cuba as a major hurricane, with nothing to stop it from intensifying into a catastrophic Category 4 storm before it crashes ashore in Florida, where officials ordered 2.5 million people to evacuate. Ian made landfall at 4.30am EDT Tuesday in Cuba's Pinar del Rio province, where officials set up 55 shelters, evacuated 50,000 people, rushed in emergency personnel and took steps to protect crops in the nation's main tobacco-growing region. The US National Hurricane Center said "significant wind and storm surge impacts" occurred Tuesday morning in western Cuba. Ian struck with sustained top winds of 205km/h. As much as 4.3m of storm surge was predicted along Cuba's coast.   Traffic builds along Interstate 4 in Tampa, Florida as Hurricane Ian approaches. Photo / Willie J. Allen Jr, Orlando Sentinel via AP Ian was forecast to strengthen even more over warm Gulf of Mexico waters, reaching top winds of 225km/h as it approaches Florida's southwest coast. Tropical storm-force winds were expected across the southern peninsula late Tuesday, reaching hurricane force Wednesday morning. "Right now we're focusing on west central Florida area as the main area for impact," hurricane specialist Andy Latto told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The hurricane centre expanded its storm surge warning to the peninsula's Atlantic coast, and expanded its tropical storm warning from Boca Raton to Brunswick, Georgia — a distance of about 603km.

He and his wife had stocked up on bottled water and packed torches, battery packs for their cellphones and a camp stove with a large propane burner as they got ready to evacuate. "All the prized possessions, we've put them upstairs in a friend's house and nearby, and we've got the car loaded," Gonzalez said. He added: "I think we're ready." Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said an estimated 2.5 million people were under evacuation orders. He urged people to prepare for power outages and to get out of its way. "When you have five to 10 feet of storm surge, that is not something you want to be a part of," DeSantis said Tuesday. "And Mother Nature is a very fearsome adversary." Hurricane Ian grew stronger as it barreled toward Cuba. Photo / Nasa Worldview, Earth Observing System Data and Information System via AP The hurricane centre expanded its hurricane warning to include Bonita Beach north through Tampa Bay to the Anclote River. Fort Myers is in the hurricane zone, and Tampa and St Petersburg could get their first direct hit by a major hurricane since 1921. "People on the barrier islands who decide not to go, they do so at their own peril," Roger Desjarlais, county manager of Lee County, where Fort Myers is, said early Tuesday. "The best thing they can do is leave." The county issued mandatory evacuations for low-lying areas including Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Bonita Beach, where about 250,000 people live. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, left, speaks as he stands with Kevin Guthrie, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management.

The owner of the premier Finca Robaina cigar producer posted photos on social media showing wood-and-thatch roofs smashed to the ground, greenhouses in rubble and wagons overturned. "It was apocalyptic, a real disaster," wrote Hirochi Robaina, grandson of the operation's founder. State media published photos showing broad floodwaters flowing through the town of San Juan y Martinez and more than 1 million Cubans were without power Tuesday morning, including all of the western provinces of Pinar del Rio and Artemisa. There were no reports of deaths. A resident uses plastic as protection from the rain in Batabano, Cuba. Photo / Ramon Espinosa, AP Ian's forward movement was expected to slow over the Gulf, enabling the hurricane to grow wider and stronger before it brings punishing wind and water to Florida's west coast. Forecasters said the surge of ocean water could reach 3m if it peaks at high tide. Rainfall could total 410mm with as much as 610mm in isolated areas. Coastal communities could be inundated. In Key West, the airport closed Tuesday as gusty rains from the storm added to a king tide to swamp the streets, prompting animal rescuers to delay venturing out until after Ian passes. In Orlando, Disney World closed four hotels as a precaution while holding off on any decision to shut down its theme parks. Busch Gardens in Tampa closed at least through Thursday. In Florida's northeastern corner, the US Navy said it planned to move ships and aircraft from its base outside Jacksonville.

As Hurricane Ian bears down on Florida, residents in several counties are under an evacuation order. Hillsborough County Fire Chief Dennis Jones describes how local residents are preparing for the region's biggest hurricane in 101 years. Then, University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business professor Jeremy Siegel explains why the Federal Reserve's policy of hiking interest rates could lead to a major recession. And, many credit Bill Monroe as the "father" of Bluegrass. But when you listen to his music, you hear echoes of the man who mentored Monroe — Arnold Shultz, the son of a formerly enslaved man in Ohio Country, Kentucky. Among those working to restore that legacy is Dr. Richard Brown, a dentist and acclaimed mandolin player.

As Hurricane Ian tracks toward the Florida coast, Senator Amy Klobuchar implies that a Democrat majority this Fall would stop hurricanes.
