The natural disaster killed four people, and a downed power line electrocuted two. Two others died after their car crashed on the Florida Turnpike. Finally, Thomas Whittle died at 68 years old after trying to save people with his boat, rocking in heavy storm waters. The yacht broke loose and started to drift. His wife called the police at 4:33 to report the distress of her husband. The police found the couple on the boat, and they were taken to a nearby hospital, where the husband was pronounced dead.
