Florida emergency officials say the death toll during Hurricane Ian is 21 - with 1 confirmed as storm-related and 20 still being determined.
The historic coastal community was inundated by significant flooding as Ian passed over the First Coast as a tropical storm Thursday.
Between 8 and 10 inches of rain have fallen, and additional rainfall of 4-6 inches are expected in Orange, Brevard and Volusia.
The latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center in Miami shows that Ian is expected to bring a storm surge of up to 8 feet in Tampa Bay before it moves inland and dumps 20 inches of rain as it crosses the state toward Daytona Beach.
The governor will be joined by Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie and Major General James O. Eifert.
