Consider This from NPR - Hurricane Ian Tears Across Florida

Hurricane Ian carved a path of destruction through central Florida, with extreme winds, heavy rains and a torrent of waters flooding in from the Gulf of Mexico.

Roads and bridges were washed away, coastal cities were swamped and electrical systems were wrecked - leaving millions of homes and businesses without power.

While the full scope of the disaster is not yet known, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says it will take years to rebuild.

We'll hear an eyewitness account of the destruction in Ft. Myers and check in with NPR's Greg Allen in Sarasota, where many neighborhoods are flooded.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Chicago Makes It Easier For Some Homes To Ditch Gas, Switch To Electric

To reduce their carbon footprints, New York and Los Angeles have banned gas-powered stoves and heating in new construction. Chicago is taking a different approach. A new ordinance requires new homes to be “electric ready.” The city isn’t banning gas appliances in homes, but wants residents to more easily be able to switch to electric ones if they choose. But how can people who can’t afford to buy a new home be part of this transition? Reset finds out more about electrification, and checks in with an advocate to learn more about these efforts.
