Up to 1,000 people and hundreds of animals are reported to have been rescued from debris and flooded areas, according to information from Governor Ron DeSantis. 2.6 million people are still reported to be without power early on Friday.

The feared storm swept in over southeastern USA during the night to Thursday Swedish time. Florida fared better than feared in many ways. But on Florida's east coast, the hurricane brought tornadoes that killed several people.

People clearing up after the storm are reported to be frustrated and angry. Images in Miami Herald show residential areas half underwater, with furniture, building materials, trash, and personal belongings scattered by the winds. In Englewood, on the west coast towards the Gulf of Mexico, homeowner Mike Giard is trying to clear up.

It looks like we have three refrigerators. And I don't know whose roof that is, he says to the newspaper while trying to stop his neighbor's porch from floating away.
