JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Duval County is returning to normalcy after Hurricane Ian lashed Florida, causing power outages, flooding and damage primarily along the west and east coasts.
Before knowing the impact that Ian would have in Duval County, River City Pride was encouraged by the City of Jacksonville to postpone its parade on Saturday, not knowing the damage and destruction that could be caused.
