Hurricane Katrina has hit south-east Florida, killing at least two people and leaving hundreds of thousands of homes without electricity. One man died when a tree was blown onto the car in which he was sitting after strong winds and rain struck the Fort Lauderdale area at 1900 (2300 GMT).
Earlier, motorists stocked up at petrol stations and emergency shelters were opened as the storm closed in.
Flooding is forecast, with up to 25cm (10 inches) of rain expected to fall.

Energy Consumption Has Dropped, But Cuts Have Increased
Every time there is a power cut, are you told that the city’s demand is too high to handle? That cheap air-conditioners are allowing everyone to indulge and that the government is feeling the heat, buying expensive power from other states? This is true, but only half the truth.
energy consumption has dropped by nearly 1.40%
power cuts have only increased, by 21.89%
energy consumption in January-July 2003 was 7352.926 million units (MU), which grew by 6.54% to 7833.995 MU in 2004. It dropped to 724.179 MU this year.
In 2000-01, the peak demand was 2670 MW and it increased by 7.8% to 2879 MW the next year.
there was only a 3.89% increase between the peak demand in 2004 (3490 MW) and that in 2005 (3626 MW).
