Hurricane Irma is barreling up the Sunshine State, bringing heavy rainfall and powerful winds. The deadly hurricane, which is now a Category 2 storm with sustained winds of 100 miles per hour, was moving east of the Tampa metro area.

 ABC News has confirmed a fifth storm-related fatality early Monday morning after a person was found dead in a home in Shark Key on Sunday. Monroe County, which includes the Florida Keys, has reported two deaths. Hardee County has also reported two deaths so far and one person died in a single-vehicle crash in Orange County. At least 27 people were killed in the Caribbean. 
 
 Millions of Floridians are under orders to evacuate, and many are desperately seeking shelter from the storm. One Naples resident told ABC News she was turned away from two shelters before she and her 10-year-old son were finally accepted at one. 
 
 Some 3.5 million Floridians were without power on Sunday. 
 
 "We have a dog and there were not that many shelters that accepted dogs," she said, adding, "We didn't want to be that far away from our home." While she and her son stay inside the shelter, her husband is hunkering down with their dog at home. 
 
 Irma made its second landfall on Marco Island along the southwest Florida coast this afternoon with 115 mph winds after battering the Florida Keys earlier today.

 Beyond the winds and rain that Irma is bringing, the storm surge is also expected to be devastating -- in Naples, waters rose four feet in just 30 minutes. 
 
 How Key West and Miami fared 
 
 The Florida Keys were hit hard with wind gusts of 120 mph in parts and 89 mph winds in Key West. 
 
 Officials in the Florida Keys said that residents who evacuated should not return until further notice.

 From there, the storm lashed Miami with winds whipping around high-rise buildings at speeds approaching 100 mph, the National Weather Service said. Two cranes collapsed in the city and a 94 mph wind gust was recorded at Miami International Airport. 
 
 Along with the strong gusts of wind, water rushed through Miami's streets. One resident said streets were flooded up to the newspaper stands and the winds were so powerful that windows cracked from the sheer force of the gusts. 
 
 The CEO of Miami International Airport said the airport "sustained significant water damage" with wind gusts of nearly 100 mph.

 One source of concern before the storm was how the numerous construction cranes in Miami and neighboring cities would fare in the high winds. 
 
 The Associated Press is reporting that three cranes have collapsed as of Sunday night: two in Miami and one in Fort Lauderdale. 
 
 Naples pelted with wind and rain 
 
 Visibility became poor in Naples this afternoon as the eye of the storm neared. 
 
 Some now sheltered in Naples had fled from the eastern side of Florida after it was first forecast that Irma would hit the eastern coastline. The mayor of Naples said those in hotels around the city were ordered out of common areas and into their rooms. 
 
 After the bulk of the storm passed over the city, Naples officials said that the city's water distribution lines have been broken so residents are being told to boil the water that is coming out of taps.

 Florida Gov. Rick Scott warned residents of dangerous storm surges that could reach 10 to 15 feet above sea level in the Naples area. 
 
 "Do not think the storm is over when the wind slows down," Scott said Saturday. The dangerous storm surge "will rush in and could kill you." 
 
 There have already been four deaths reported in Florida, including a man in Monroe County, which encompasses Key West. He was killed after he lost control of a truck that carried a generator as winds whipped at tropical-storm strength, officials said. 
 
 Two other people, a sheriff's deputy and a corrections officer, died from a two-car crash in the rain in Hardee County, which is about 60 miles inland from Sarasota, officials said. 
 
 The fourth fatality was reported in Orange County, which is near Orlando, after a car crash that was deemed related to the hurricane. 
 
 The deputy, identified as Julie Bridges, was a 13-year veteran of the county force, said Hardee County Sheriff Arnold Lanier. She was heading home after a night shift, the Florida Highway Patrol said. The second victim was a sergeant at the Hardee Correctional Institute who had been on his way to work, the highway patrol said. 
 
 Tampa's mayor issues stern warning 
 
 Tampa, which is now experiencing wind gusts of over 50 mph, is in the predicted path of the storm, and the city's mayor Bob Buckhorn did not mince words when he warned residents on Twitter earlier today. 
 
 "We are about to get punched in the face by this storm. We need to be prepared," he wrote.

 He later spoke to ABC News and said that Tampa, which is naturally low-lying and on the Gulf Coast, has taken precautions to prepare. 
 
 "I think we're about as ready as any city could be, given what we're about to face," Buckhorn said to ABC News. 
 
 He said that the city will deal with the aftermath but "right now, we're pretty much in God's hands."

 Millions ordered to evacuate 
 
 As the monster storm neared, about 6.5 million Floridians were under mandatory and voluntarily evacuation orders. Evacuations were ordered in Georgia and South Carolina as well. 
 
 Over 116,000 people are in 530 shelters across Florida to ride out the storm. 30,000 people are in shelters in Miami-Dade alone. 
 
 But others decided to hunker down at home bracing for Irma's impact.

 Sylvia Constantinidis, a 27-year resident of Miami, told ABC News earlier this week that she would stay in the city during the storm. 
 
 "I own my house. You leave and then there is a major disaster then they don't let you come back to Florida until many days after," Constantinidis said. "If you have any damage or water getting into your house and you have to wait for two or three weeks to come back, then your house will be completely damaged by the time you come back to Florida."

 Lost power and reported tornadoes 
 
 Roughly 3.5 million customers were without power in Florida late Sunday night, according to Rob Gould, the vice president of communications at Florida Power & Light. 
 
 Meanwhile, a tornado watch is in effect today for Fort Myers, Tampa, Melbourne, Daytona Beach and Jacksonville. There have been at least three reported tornadoes in central and south Florida. 
 
 Irma's heavy rains and winds are expected to reach Georgia, too, and Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal today expanded his emergency declaration so all Georgia counties are under states of emergency.

 MIAMI — Hurricane Irma marched relentlessly up Florida's Gulf coast Sunday after slamming through the Florida Keys, as the meteorological behemoth's slashing rain and roaring winds rolled toward Georgia and beyond. 
 
 The storm made landfall on the Florida Keys and later near Naples, but Florida's eastern coast was far from spared Sunday from the almost 400-mile-wide storm. In Miami, high winds snapped construction cranes and water swept down streets like rivers. In Palm Bay, 175 miles to the north, a tornado destroyed six mobile homes. Water rose by 4 feet in 30 minutes in some places. 
 
 In Miami-Dade County, about 850,000 homes were without power, prompting Mayor Carlos Gimenez to impose a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew. Looters proved to be a problem too, with thousands of businesses and homes empty due to evacuations. 
 
 "We're going to be monitoring any types of crimes," Miami Police Commander Freddie Cruz told USA TODAY. 
 
 Millions of Floridians evacuated ahead of the historic storm, and more than 3.4 million power customers — about 7 million people — were without electricity Sunday. 
 
 "We're going to get through this," Gov. Rick Scott told workers in the state Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee. "We've got a lot of work to do," he added. 
 
 Scott visited Pensacola on Sunday to check on evacuees and get updates from officials. Volunteers in the shelters will be a growing need, he said. 
 
 "People are going to be in our shelters for awhile," Scott said. 
 
 Despite a 10-mile east shift Sunday afternoon Hurricane Irma still was poised to travel north and strike Tampa as a weaker storm before daybreak Monday, the National Hurricane Center said. 
 
 By 11 p.m. ET, Irma's winds had slowed somewhat to maximum sustained speed of 100 mph, but continued to barrel north at 14 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. At 11 p.m. ET, the storm was 50 miles southeast of Tampa. 
 
 Irma was forecast to continue traveling toward the Big Bend area in the Panhandle and strike Tampa as a Category 1 or 2 early Monday. It will be a tropical storm or Category 1 when it reaches the Tallahassee area.

 The storm sent 120 mph winds to the Naples area after making landfall on Marco Island Sunday afternoon. 
 
 The east shift didn't change conditions for Central Florida and the east coast, Hurricane Center acting Director Ed Rappaport said. Those areas expected at least tropical storm conditions, stronger gusts and tornadoes. 
 
 Even as Irma wound down, the storm was creating complications in the Naples area. Irma blew the roof off of the fire station at Naples Municipal Airport, where the National Hurricane Center logged a wind gust of 142 mph, according to a 6 p.m. ET update Sunday. Emergency crews in Naples were working with the help of backup generators good for up to four days and able to be refueled. In Collier County, residents were asked to boil water before drinking or cooking until further notice. 
 
 In Venice, north of Naples, Irma was preventing utility workers from repairing a significant water main break, forcing the city's Utilities Department to shut down the water system. The development meant residents would have no water for the time being for drinking or flushing toilets. 
 
 The storm claimed at least three lives in Florida. A Hardee County sheriff's deputy and a prison employee died in a vehicle crash related to Irma on Sunday, officials said. Deputy Julie Bridges was on her way to pick up shelter supplies when the vehicle she was driving collided with another vehicle carrying Sgt. Joseph Ossman, who was reporting for work at the Hardee Correctional Institution. 
 
 One person died in a single vehicle accident off of a highway in Orange County, Fla., Sunday evening, county Fire Chief Otto Drozd said. "This underscores just how dangerous the roads are because it was just a single vehicle," Drozd told reporters.

 President Trump approved a disaster declaration on Sunday for Florida, the White House announced Sunday. The declaration makes federal aid available for several counties affected by the storm, including Miami-Dade. 
 
 The president told reporters outside of the White House on Sunday that he will visit Florida "very soon." He did not specify where in Florida or when. 
 
 Irma was expected to roll Monday into Georgia, where Gov. Nathan Deal declared a state of emergency for all 159 counties. Atlanta claimed the dubious distinction of receiving its first tropical storm warning in city history. 
 
 The states of Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Illinois all could face severe effects from the storm before it quiets by week's end, the National Weather Service said.

 Irma slammed into Cudjoe Key on Sunday morning as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 130 mph. That marked the first time two consecutive Category 4 hurricanes have hit the United States, following Hurricane Harvey in Texas last month. Irma also is Florida's first major hurricane since Wilma in 2005. 
 
 Larry Kahn, editor of the Keynoter, said power was out and there was no running water at Marathon High School, a "refuge of last resort" on the middle Keys. 
 
 “Everything is underwater," Kahn said. "I mean everything." 
 
 Sunday night, Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay instituted an indefinite dusk-to-dawn curfew to reduce travel danger and the risk of looting. 
 
 "Anyone out after the designated times is subject to arrest," he said in a statement. 
 
 President Trump spoke to the governors of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee, and has been speaking regularly with Florida's Scott and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., the White House said. Trump said he was encouraged by the response to the disaster this far. 
 
 "I think it's been going really well," Trump said. "FEMA has been incredible. We're working very well with the governor and the other governors in the surrounding states."

 In one of the biggest U.S. evacuations ever, about 6.3 million people in Florida — more than one-quarter of the state’s population — were told to clear out from threatened areas. Another 540,000 were directed to move away from the Georgia coast. 
 
 More than 10,000 flights were canceled, airports were closed, ocean cruises diverted and Disney resorts shut down as a result of the storm. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport — the world's busiest airport — could see disruptions as Irma moves north.

 Broward County, which includes Fort Lauderdale, and its 2 million residents remained under a curfew until 10 a.m. ET Monday. The town of Davie reported that a wastewater pump station lost power between Saturday night and Sunday morning and was expected to overflow, raising fears that sewage could contaminate standing water in neighborhoods, officials said.

 Emergency management officials were concerned that east coast residents who evacuated might try to return home after Irma's track veered toward the Gulf coast. 
 
 "Don't make a dumb decision," cautioned Brevard County Communications DIrector Don Walker. "Stay put until the all-clear is issued by emergency officials." 
 
 That will likely would be Monday afternoon, at the earliest, he said.

 MIAMI — Mighty, massive Irma finally weakened, chainsaws buzzed and 30,000 utility workers scrambled to restore power to battered Florida on Monday as the state slowly came back to life amid the devastation of the historic storm. 
 
 Irma, which smashed onto the state Sunday as a Category 4 hurricane with 130-mph winds, weakened to a tropical storm Monday after hammering the state with roof-ripping winds and driving rain. 
 
 The sun peeked out over much of the state, but Irma wasn't finished. Gushing floodwaters paralyzed wide areas. Downed trees, power lines and other storm debris blocked roads across the state. 
 
 Florida's Emergency Response Team said 65% of utility customers were without power early Monday. Every county from Key West to the Georgia line was affected. White House national security adviser Tom Bossert, speaking in Washington, urged evacuees not to go home until they are told it is safe to do so. 
 
 "We can have power down in homes for ... weeks," Bossert said. "This isn't over yet."

 Gov. Rick Scott visited storm-ravaged parts of the state Monday, telling reporters that what he saw was "horrible." 
 
 Scott warned that storm surge was causing record flooding in Jacksonville and other cities in northeastern Florida. Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry asked residents who are safe to let friends and family members know. 
 
 "We are getting calls asking about loved ones," Curry tweeted. 
 
 The Florida Keys took a severe beating. Irma ripped through the island chain hours before its second landfall Sunday on Marco Island. The storm roared north, wide enough to lash both coasts with wind, rain and ominous floodwaters. Millions evacuated ahead of the storm, and more than 585 shelters across the state were housing more than 200,000 people Monday. 
 
 Four “last resort” shelters set up in the Keys will become more permanent, with services such as food and supply distribution. Scott flew over the area and said flood damage was extensive. Water and sewer systems weren't working and there was no power. 
 
 "My heart goes out to the people in the Keys," Scott said. "I just hope everybody survived. It's horrible what we saw." 
 
 In Everglades City, on the Gulf Coast 30 miles east of Marco Island, trees were toppled and storm fronts blown out. Parts of the city were underwater after a storm surge as high as 8 feet. 
 
 "I've never seen it this bad," said Lee Kidder, manager of the Captain's Table hotel and restaurant, where water swamped his downstairs apartments and trees smashed the pool patio. "But it could have been way worse." 
 
 Naples, 15 miles north of Marco Island, fared a bit better. Crews saw no major structural damage and only minimal flooding in their initial post-storm tours, Mayor Bill Barnett said. 
 
 “Everything is preliminary, but the real bright side — if there is one — is that we didn’t get 15 feet of storm surge,” Barnett said. “That would have been catastrophic.” 
 
 One Naples man died as an indirect result of the storm, however. Evacuee Richard Koff, 91, was walking through an Interstate 75 rest area in Georgia when he was the victim of a fatal hit-and-run crash Sunday. 
 
 Utilities warned that it could take weeks to fully restore electricity to the state's 21 million people. The Florida HIghway Patrol was escorting utility convoys around the state, and more than 30,000 workers were laboring to restore power. 
 
 At 11 p.m. ET Monday, the storm was centered about 95 miles south by southwest of Atlanta, driving maximum sustained winds of 35 mph, the National Hurricane Center said. Irma was forecast to continue to weaken as it rolled through Georgia and beyond Tuesday. 
 
 Georgia was reporting power outages for almost 600,000 homes and businesses Monday; South Carolina had almost 100,000 outages. 
 
 Still, many areas were expecting worse than they got. 
 
 The Tampa-St. Petersburg metro area had braced for a direct hit that never quite came. Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, saying the local storm surge apparently will not be as bad as feared, lifted the city curfew Monday. 
 
 "We really dodged a bullet," Buckhorn said. 
 
 Miami-Dade County, spared a direct hit when Irma spun west, still was staggered. About 80% of homes lost power and many roads remained impassable, but lifelong residents who know what hurricanes can do knew they'd been spared. 
 
 "This is great for us, but bad for the west coast," said Alex Silva, 41, who was using a machete and a rake to clear the street outside his Coral Gables home Monday morning. 
 
 "I would feel like a jerk if I didn't get out and do something to help," Silva said. 
 
 Miami International Airport hoped to reopen for limited passenger service Tuesday. Irma's high winds pushed water through window seals and roof joints, causing minor flooding through the sprawling complex. Even the war room where airport managers met Monday morning was damaged by water. 
 
 "Nobody wants to get planes in and out more than me," CEO Emilio Gonzalez said. "But we can't just flip a switch." 
 
 In Palm Bay, 175 miles north of MIami, Irma's howling winds punched a hole in the roof of The Shack Seafood Restaurant, tossing the screened porch atop the building like a folded pancake. Jean Zemkoski, who has owned the restaurant for 46 years, was concerned that employees might be without work for weeks. 
 
 "When we left, everything was secure," said . "I came back this morning and this is what I see." 
 
 In Western North Carolina, almost 13,000 residents were without power Monday night as a result of the storm. The residents represented more than half of the 22,000 Duke Energy customers who did not have power as of 7:30 p.m. ET Sunday, according to Duke Energy.

– Hurricane Irma has made a second landfall in Florida as it moves up the state's west coast. No. 2 came at 3:35pm at Marco Island, about 15 miles from Naples, while Irma was a Category 3 storm, per the Guardian. As of 5pm, it had been downgraded to a Category 2, though winds were still a powerful 110mph. That is technically below "major hurricane" status, notes the AP, though the distinction may be small comfort to cities along its path. Perhaps the biggest concern continues to be the densely populated Tampa-St. Petersburg area, thought to be "woefully ill-equipped" to handle such a big storm, per the Washington Post. Irma should arrive there after midnight. “Today is going to the be the long day,” says Mark DeMaria of the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Though Miami avoided a direct hit, the driving rain and storm surges have flooded parts of the downtown area, particularly the Brickell neighborhood. And two construction cranes have collapsed onto buildings in Miami, though no casualties were reported. In Palm Bay, also on the east coast, a related tornado destroyed six mobile homes, reports USA Today. Irma is on track to hit Georgia Monday morning, and a state of emergency was in effect for all 159 counties. On Sunday morning, Irma made its first landfall at Cudjoe Key in the Florida Keys.
