The 10 deaths that have have been confirmed were all in the south-west Charlotte County, which saw intense winds. A woman in Fort Myers, who swam to safety when her ground floor apartment began to flood, said when she returned home she "had to wait about five minutes for all the floodwaters to come out".

He warned homeowners to watch out for power lines mixed in trees and said no one should be tinkering with generator sand chainsaws, or climbing ladders without proper training."If you do not know how to use a chainsaw. If you do not know how to climb a ladder. If you do not know the difference between a cable line and a power line, you should not be doing that."
