Fatal victims and lack of electricity
According to media reports, the wind blew at a speed of over 200 km/h, and at times even reached 249 km/h. Unfortunately, the hurricane led to... fatalities. As you could hear today, CNN reported two people who died, one of which was an 11-year-old child. The station also reports that the hurricane led to massive devastation of power lines, which resulted in approximately 500 people losing electricity.
Florida saves itself
Governor Rick Scott deeply regrets the present state of Florida. The destruction is enormous and its reconstruction will be expensive, but also time-consuming. This place hasn't seen a storm like this in over a hundred years. Nowadays, after the hurricane in Florida, there are places where you can come and report because they are dedicated refuge points. Many residents have already done so, but apparently most of the victims have not responded in any way to the proposed aid.
