The passage of Hurricane Irma on the Florida peninsula killed at least 12 people, a figure that added to the 43 deaths in the Caribbean brings to 55 the total fatalities until Tuesday.
A spokesman for the Florida government reported that six people were killed in car crashes, four when they were doing pre-crash work, one was electrocuted, and one more because of a heart problem.

Authorities began tracking victims Tuesday and assessing damage to the Florida Keys, one of the regions through which the eye of the hurricane passed on Sunday, which could increase the number of deaths.
The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Brock Long, said Tuesday that 25% of homes in this archipelago of islands were destroyed and 60% were damaged.
 
"Basically every house in the Keys has been affected in some way or another," Long said at a news conference.
Even with winds and rain, Irma hit the two coasts of Florida, and as a storm the states of Georgia and South Carolina, where more victims could be registered.
 
The city of Jacksonville, Florida, was one of the most affected by the floods. There rescue teams have rescued about 300 people trapped in their homes, said Governor Rick Scott.
Officials estimated that 15 million people suffered power outages in Florida, a million more in Georgia and 20,000 in South Carolina, AFP reported.
