Over the last few days, Hurricane Ian, which strengthened into a category four storm, is continuing to wreak havoc. The storm made its landfall in Florida on Wednesday afternoon. While it is still off the coast of South Carolina, clouds are moving all the way to New York City, Boston, and Pittsburgh. The ten times All-Star player of the LA Angels, Mike Trout, came forward to pray for the safety of the people of the east coast.

At the time when Ian is continuing to cause chaos and destruction, the Los Angeles Angels are playing against Texas Rangers in their hometown at the Angels Stadium. Prince Fish led his team to a win last night against the Rangers, bringing his team to a total of 71 wins this season.

Mike Trout loves the weather, but what is happening right now is devastating!

Trout‘s love for weather and clouds is not hidden from anyone. Nor has he ever tried to hide it. His amateur storm chasing videos on social media has led him to gain the title of the ‘weather nerd.’ But the storm chaser is fully aware of the situation caused by Hurricane Ian. And so, he came forward in joining hands together to pray for people’s safety.

Earlier today, after three days of Ian entering Florida, more than 1.3 million people were left powerless. Whereas, after the hurricane hit South Carolina, around 70,000 homes and businesses witnessed power cuts. According to state officials, at least 23 people lost their lives in the storm in Florida. And sadly, this figure might rise.
