Another four people have been killed following torrential weather caused by the remnants of Tropical Storm Allison in north Florida.
The storm earlier killed at least 20 people in Texas and Louisiana.
Last week, five people were also drowned in the Florida Panhandle from choppy waters that were blamed on Allison.
Rescuers continued searching yesterday for a shrimp fisherman washed off his boat in choppy waters in Pensacola Bay.

The torrential rains came as Allison moved east over the Atlantic Ocean. Tallahassee Regional Airport measured 9.86 inches of rain in a 12-hour period. Flood watches were issued on Tuesday for five counties.
"It's about as bad as it's been in several years," said weather service forecaster Mr Jeff Fournier.
