The death toll from Hurricane Ian rose to at least 68 and about 700,000 homes and businesses across Florida remained without power on Sunday, four days after the Category 4 beast slammed ashore along the state's Gulf Coast.
Confirmed fatalities included 61 in Florida, four in North Carolina and three in Cuba, where Ian made its first landfall Tuesday. The count remained fluid Sunday.
Water levels kept rising in some flooded areas of Florida, inundating homes and streets that were passable a day or two earlier. Notices advising that water for human consumption be boiled were issued to at least parts of 23 counties.
