Hi Everyone,
Hurricane Irma is almost clear of Florida, which means the response and recovery to the devastation the storm left behind in the state and in the Caribbean will soon be fully underway.
The damage to some island nations in particular is difficult to comprehend. The small island of Barbuda had 90 percent of its structures damaged or destroyed, according to the Washington Post. Anguilla saw similarly comprehensive damage to its electricity infrastructure. On St. Martin, 70 percent of the homes had been damaged or destroyed, leaving tens of thousands in need of public shelter. A million people were without power in Puerto Rico, and millions more were without electricity in Florida, where the fiscal damage has not yet been calculated.
