Former World No.5 Eugenie Bouchard has her own residence in Miami Beach, Florida and took to Twitter to convey her support for the sufferers of Hurricane Ian
Eugenie Bouchard took to Twitter to express her support for residents of Florida who are going through a period of severe uncertainty. One of the mightiest storms to hit the US mainland in recent years, Hurricane Ian has caused devastation all over Florida and over 2.6 million homes in the region are currently without electricity. “Thinking about everyone in Florida”, Bouchard wrote, conveying her support for the affected families.
Hurricane Ian has caused devastating damage in Florida leaving residents without electricity, drinking water or inhabitable homes. The storm destroyed roads, uprooted trees and set cars afloat, leaving behind uncountable ruined homes and businesses. The scale of wreckage comes as a shock and surprise even for Florida residents who had survived and rebuilt after other powerful hurricanes.
Bouchard made a comeback to the WTA tour in August this year after a long lay-off due to injury. Her latest tournament was the Korea Open last week where she suffered a first-round exit. She will be next seen in action at the Transylvania Open in Romania. She has received a wild card entry but will have to play the qualifiers to make it to the main draw.
Let us take a look at how fans on Twitter reacted to Bouchard’s tweet.
“Made it through! No power but safe”, wrote a Florida resident.
“Me too. Family members living in Tampa Bay said they’re OK on Facebook though”, wrote a fan who could relate to the tweet.
“Did you say anything about people on the east coast of Canada?”, read another tweet.
“Thinking about everyone in Ukraine- where children die every single day so far 600 from Russian rockets and bombs”, tweeted another fan.
“I’m in Florida and thinking about you”, wrote another user.
