At least five people have died. Local officials 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 on Friday 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 also announced. The National Hurricane Center - in its Friday afternoon advisory - said Matthew has caused "devastation along the Northeast coast of Florida" as the storm makes its way north. While Matthew continues to lash the state with powerful winds, rain and storm surge, hundreds of thousands are still without power. The latest report from the Florida Division of Emergency Management said more than 1.1 million customers are without power statewide. Bill Orlove, a spokesperson for Florida Power and Light, said in an interview with weather.com on Friday that the company brought in 15,000 crews from all over the country to aid in the storm impacts, with workers coming from as far away as Massachusetts and Texas. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has 90 officers performing search and rescue operations, and another 70 on standby, Gov. Rick Scott's office said. Also, Florida Highway Patrol has 150 troopers on public safety patrol and another 100 on standby. Nassau County Matthew is starting to be felt in Nassau County, and emergency officials have already put their action plan into place to prepare for any potential impacts that the hurricane may bring. Nassau County Public Information Officer Dave Richardson told weather.com that Shave Bridge, which connects Amelia Island and the mainland, has been closed, due to the fear of rising water under the bridg that spans the Intercoastal waterway. Richardson said there have not been any reports of injuries, but rescue and sheriff's personnel have suspended operations due to the danger of the storm. "We started evacuations yesterday at 6 a.m, but not everyone heeded that, then we started getting phone calls to get them off of the island," Richardson said. "We won't be able to respond, anyway." The area is just now beginning to get heavy rain but has yet to be impacted by any substantial storm surge. The maximum sustained winds felt in Nassau County topped out at 39 mph, and spot power outages have been reported. 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. The Emergency Operations Center for St. Augustine could not be reached due to phone outages in St. Johns County. However, weather.com confirmed that 20 people, including children, are stuck at the Casablanca Inn on Avenida Menendez. The owner of the bed and breakfast, who is not on the premises, told weather.com that the guests had been asked to evacuate and refused. Weather.com hasn't been able to reach the guests. Flagler County The section of Florida State Road A1A that runs through Flagler County is currently inundated with high water, as emergency personnel is working to assess the situation. 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.
