Apparent casualties include persons trapped in congested traffic areas, and many are estimated to be lost from structure collapses as the storm made landfall. Destructive forces of the sustained high winds severely damaged the Nassau Co. areas. Many are reported as missing or were identified as individuals that were carried away by storm surge.
