JUST IN: There have been at least 33 storm-related deaths in Florida, where over 1.2 million customers are still without power as Ian's remnants move north.
Rescuers searched for survivors among the ruins of Florida's flooded homes from Hurricane Ian while authorities in South Carolina waited for daylight to assess damage from its strike there as the remnants of one of the strongest and costliest hurricanes to ever hit the U.S. continued to push north.
This week, Ian left a trail of destruction felt most intensely in Florida's southwestern coastal communities, including Fort Myers and Naples. Tampa, Orlando and cities along Florida's northeastern coast were also impacted by downpours and high winds. Across the state, more than 1.3 million homes and businesses were still in the dark early Saturday.

In Horry County, where North Myrtle Beach in located, crews began removing debris left by the storm. Officials are urging residents to remain home and to not drive.
