Florida storm

Florida coast battered by Hurricane Hermine

Now downgraded to a tropical storm, it is pushing north-eastward. Emergencies have been declared in Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia.

A state of emergency remains in effect for most of Florida.

There are concerns over stagnant water in the state, which has been battling the mosquito-born Zika virus.

Gusts of 80mph (130km/h) caused storm surges that flooded part of the Florida coast.

In the town of Cedar Key, waters rose more than 9.5ft (2.9 metres), among the highest surges ever seen, according to the National Weather Service.
