More than 800 people had to be rescued from Lee County in the days following the storm, CNN reported. And the death toll in Lee County dwarfs the toll in other counties: CNN reported that 24 people died in Charlotte County, eight in Collier County, and five or less in Volusia, Sarasota, Manatee, Polk, Lake, Hendry and Hillsborough counties.
