Gov. Rick Scott is encouraging Floridians to help if they can.
"It's tragic what happened. One family lost every member of the family but a 15-year-old daughter so your heart goes out to everybody involved. I know they found one more victim so I think it's up to 11 (deaths). So I just hope people will contribute. You just hope it never happens again."
