While the storm surge has been significant, only 1 person has died in the U.S. so far while as many as 1 million have lost power, according to ABC.

The storm surge and loss of power has been significant:

As Governor Rick Scott pointed out this morning, Florida was spared a direct hit from Hurricane Matthew with "no reports of significant damage" but warned residents to remain cautious.  

The governor said on "GMA," "We've been blessed that we haven't had a direct hit," however "with the hurricane force winds we're going to see a lot of storm surge."

Scott told reporters later this morning so far there is "no reports of significant damage."

Scott said, even though the storm has passed half the state, "this is not over" and the storm "still has time to make a direct hit."
