Five deaths have been blamed on Hurricane Matthew in Florida.

Hurricane Matthew, in its destructive march along the Florida coast caused widespread flooding, damage and power outages across the state. At least five people have died.

On Sunday, President Barack Obama signed a new disaster declaration for Florida, making additional federal funding and resources available to the state of Florida, to help with post-storm cleanup and recovery efforts. This comes on the heels of the president's preliminary disaster declaration before the storm.

The latest declaration makes available federal funding to state, eligible local governments and certain nonprofits on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work in eight Florida counties, according to the Miami Herald . "Those counties span the east coast from the Treasure Coast to northeast Florida — areas which felt the brunt of Matthew in the state: Brevard, Duval, Flagler, Indian River, Nassau, St. Johns, St. Lucie and Volusia," the Herald reported.

After taking an aerial tour to see the damage across the state Saturday, Florida Gov. Rick Scott said, “We are blessed, it stayed off our coast. If it had a direct impact hit, everything would be worse for our families.”

Although Florida didn't experience a direct hit, there was still severe damage and deaths from the storm. Oofficials confirmed the death of a 58-year-old St. Lucie County woman who suffered cardiac arrest overnight. The woman made an emergency call at 1:20 a.m. Friday, but this came after operations were suspended because of the hurricane. The identity of the woman has not been released. Two others, a couple, died in St. Lucie County from carbon monoxide poisoning after they ran a generator inside their garage, the county said in a Facebook post.

The Orlando Sentinel reported that a Volusia County woman was killed when a tree fell on her while feeding animals. In Putnam County, a woman was killed when a tree fell onto a trailer that was occupied by two adults. A man survived, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said.

State officials said that as of midday Sunday that there were nearly 423,000 people still without power. More than 1 million customers that lost power at the height of the storm.

Gov. Rick Scott says the National Guard will help ready Florida schools to reopen, especially those used as shelters.

A number of school systems in areas affected by the storm plan to remain closed Monday. Scott said in a news release Sunday it’s important to get children back to their studies and noted that some kids get their only real meal at school.

Scott says the state’s full resources are offered to school districts for cleanup, repairs and issues with damaged buses.

Nassau County

Matthew slammed Florida's northeastern Nassau County and emergency officials are still in the process of assessing the damage to the area.

Nassau County Public Information Officer Dave Richardson told weather.com that Shave Bridge, which connects Amelia Island and the mainland, was closed, due to the fear of rising water under the bridge that spans the Intercoastal waterway. The bridge has since been reopened and residents are slowly reentering the area.

About 2,400 Nassau County residents are still without power, according to FPL.

The maximum sustained winds felt in Nassau County topped out at 39 mph, Richardson added.

The NOAA tidal gauge at Fernandina Beach reported a peak water level of 6.91 feet, making it the third-highest water level in the area's history.

St. Augustine

Storm surge in St. Augustine has already been circulated around social media, with scenes of high water engulfing city streets and pushing through residential areas.

St. Johns County Fire Rescue said it is not expected that the portion of the city on Anastasia Island will be reopened until Sunday or later depending on the final assessments of city officials.

When locals returned to Anastasia Island, both residents and business owners were required to display an official reentry tag, driver’s license or government-issued photo ID, in order to access these communities.

Emergency officials also cautioned those who evacuated Anastasia Island that upon returning home, it is likely that water and sewer service may not be immediately available.

FPL reported that abpit 19,000 customers were still without power in St. Johns County.

Due to the potential for water and sewer line break it may take several days to have service restored. However, St. Johns Fire and Rescue said during the first 48 hours after water service is restored, customers should boil their water for one minute prior to use as a precaution against contamination.

Flagler County

Florida Power and Light's latest report says about 42,000 customers are still without power in Flagler County.

Officials cut off all access to beachside portions of the county after a section of Florida State Road A1A after it became inundated with high water Friday.

Flagler County Public Information Officer Julie Murphy confirmed to weather.com that portions of state road A1A were compromised south of the peer, which is positioned across the road from the historic Topaz Hotel.

Emergency workers will begin the process of entering the area to rescue those who did not leave.

"We have restricted access to the barrier island so our crews and law enforcement can get to the area to help anyone," Murphy said.

Flagler College in St. Augustine also suffered severe storm surge damage.

Jacksonville

Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry lifted the evacuation order for zones A, B, and C effective 12 p.m. Saturday.

While the storm may have passed, reports of damage and at least one injury have been confirmed. One utility worker was injured trying to restore power to the thousands in the area that are still in the dark.

Gerri Boyce, a spokesperson for Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA), told weather.com that the JEA employee was electrocuted while restoring service in Mandarin, in the southern part of Jacksonville.

The employee was transported to an area hospital and is in stable condition.

Local emergency officials also said Jacksonville Beach has suffered "significant damage," flooding up through 2nd Street.

Volusia County

The famed Daytona International Speedway has sustained moderate damages from the storm, officials said.

Officials told the Associated Press that lights, speakers, signage, fences, gates, awnings and palm trees were damaged. They added that the ticket office and the Richard Petty Driving Experience will be closed Saturday and Sunday during cleanup.

Officials in the Daytona metro area continue to monitor the storm impacts and said that it is still too early to tell the overall scope of the storm's impact.

Florida Power and Light reported 77,000 customers in the county without power as of Sunday morning.

Volusia County Department of Public Protection emergency management director Jim Judge said there have been reports of mobile home damage, roof damage and damage to trees and power lines.

Palm Beach County

Palm Beach County Emergency Management Director Bill Johnson told weather.com that while there is slight beach erosion in the northern part of the county, most of the beaches are still intact.

He added that, apart from the beach erosion, the only other damage seen in their short assessment could be chalked up to damaged trees and stoplights, with some localized flooding.

"For a Category 4 storm that was 40 miles off our coast, we were blessed," Johnson said.

As of Sunday morning, nearly all FPL customers in Palm Beach County had power restored.
