Storm damage stretches across Florida and Alabama as officials warn of continued flooding and possible tornadoes.

What the coverage shows

All six outlets focus on outages and deaths, but they disagree sharply on the toll and power losses they foreground. CNN and Al Jazeera both lead with two dead, with Al Jazeera citing 800,000 without power and CNN saying hundreds of thousands remain affected; Fox News emphasizes more than 900,000 without power. The Independent is the only outlet to frame it as a tracker update, while BBC News and South China Morning Post alone report four dead and give lower outage totals.
