The Washington Post has a nice state-by-state breakdown of Zika in the continental US. It separates out "travel-related" cases and "local" cases and has links to each state's website with local information regarding the virus.
There are 7,360 confirmed Zika cases in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [as of Aug 3, 2016]. This includes 1,817 cases in the continental U.S. and 5,526 cases in the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa.
The first local spread of Zika virus through infected mosquitoes in the continential U.S. occurred in Miami, Florida in late July.
takyon: Reuters has a timeline of Zika-related events. Bloomberg reports "Florida Shudders as Zika Spread Forces Miami Shops to Close". The Sacramento Bee reports "Two babies born in California with Zika-related severe birth defect".

Puerto Rico deserves a call-out for its 5460 cases.

Puerto Rico is a state now? Stupid article with stupid "facts" is stupid.
Of course I'm against DEI. Donald, Eric, and Ivanka.

The article doesn't call Puerto Rico a state, but lumps it in with the other colonies, where there have been far fewer cases.

Nope, TFA clearly says 'US territories'. There may be some stupidity around here, but not in TFA.
I am not interested in knowing who people are or where they live. My interest starts and stops at our servers.

Donnie was just out of his league, an easy mistake to make. This is a case of the Donald being out of all leagues, the bowling league, the Justice League, the Little League, the League of Billionaires who actually are billionaries, the League of men with hair, the League of Men With Hands that are not Too Small. In other words, out of all leagues. Leagueless. Non-league-able. Cannot not find a mate the is within a league. No leagues under the sea. The Donald. Shut up, Donald. Lest you demonstrate how small your hands actually are. Tiny hands.
Hands too small for his head. Hands that telegraph his negotiating position. Discriminatory hands. Male chauvanist really small compensatory hands. Out of your league, Donald: some of us have actual penii.

The Zika virus is rapidly becoming the HIV of our time. The difference is that instead of killing you, it just kills your chance of productive procreation. I think the not cancelling the Olympic games in Rio is going to seen as the tipping point for the Zika virus because with so many infected hosts, it's going to mutate into germ-line ending monster that spreads far and wide. Seems like mother nature is solving the human overpopulation problem on it's own terms.

Why would that happen?

Why would "mother nature" think or care that there is a human overpopulation problem?
