At least 18 people in four states have died because of the storm. Dozens of people remained missing Sunday in Florida's Panhandle communities reduced to ruins. 



Rescuers said they expected the death toll to rise and that they were using cadaver dogs and heavy equipment to search for more victims in collapsed homes in small cities such as Mexico Beach and Panama City. 



Rescue efforts have been hampered by blocked roads and huge piles of debris in many communities, such as Mexico Beach, which received a direct impact from the massive storm that killed at least one person there. 



"If we lose only one life, for me that will be a miracle," Cathay Beach mayor Al Cathey told the Florida media. 



Cathey told ABC News that 46 people from the city of about 1,000 residents were still missing or missing on Sunday.

The survivors struggled with power cuts and shortages of food and water amid the labyrinths of trees uprooted from debris. 



Electricity and telephone service was slowly being restored, but it could be weeks before energy returns to the most damaged areas of the state. 



More than 1,700 search and rescue workers were deployed, said the office of Florida Governor Rick Scott, including seven fast-track rescue teams and about 300 ambulances. 



In Panama City, one of the most affected communities, Fire Chief Alex Baird said the search and rescue teams were now in "recovery mode" after having lost hope of finding more survivors. 



Trump is totally committed to helping state and local agencies with the recovery, the White House said. It was announced late on Sunday that it declared a state of emergency in Georgia, freeing up federal resources for the state. A similar statement had already been made for Florida.
