Hurricane Ian came with 150 mph highest sustained winds at landfall. The center of the storm was located about 80 miles north of Naples.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla) has contacted Heitmann to guarantee Naples gets assist[sic] and aid desired.
(Scott lives in Naples' "millionaires row" and shares the area with Sean Hannity and Brett Baier as of 2014.)

Couldn't care less about Rick Scott's monstrosity, of which I'm sure he has plenty of spares.

(12,786 posts)You're right. It's reads like a bad translation. I did a Google search for info on Naples and did not read the link at first.

There's more weirdly poor English at the link.
