Hurricane Irma hit hard in Orlando, Florida. The storm left behind a path of destruction and at least two deaths. Irma knocked out power for nearly a million homes and businesses in Central Florida. The hurricane has downgraded to a tropical depression and has moved out of Florida, leaving a trail of carnage in its wake.
“At least two people were killed during the storm in Orange County,” the Orlando Sentinel newspaper reported. “About 900,000 homes and businesses were still without power Monday night in five Central Florida counties, and residents came outside after hours indoors to find downed trees blocking streets and damaging homes and cars.”
The Orla Vista neighborhood flooded, causing more than 200 people to evacuate, according to Orlando Sentinel.

In the video below, you’ll receive a better look into Irma’s destruction. “Anything that’s not latched down will be a projectile,” says a voice in the video. As you can see (when you click on the video) that abandoned boats are sitting in the middle of the street, trees are up-rooted and ripped apart, and many roads are flooded.

One guy in Orlando couldn’t leave because of the storm, so he sent his sister to Colorado with tickets to see Monday’s game between the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers. His sister held up a sign, reading “Best Brother Ever! He Stayed in FL to Protect his house. Get Me his tickets to protect our house. Go Broncos”.
@Broncos I couldn't leave Orlando due to Irma. So sent my sister instead #BeatTheChargers pic.twitter.com/7srJ4fALgN
