The past decade has sent Haiti a series of some of the most unfortunate natural disasters recorded, and Hurricane Irma is no different. People are losing hope in Haiti almost as fast as the country is losing money, being forced to pay from the severe damage almost yearly only to be hit by another hurricane or earthquake. One 35-year old mother was reported saying “How much worse can our lives get? … So they say I should board up my house? With what? Wood? Who’s going to pay? With what money will I buy it? Ha! I don’t even have a tin roof. If the winds come, I can’t do anything but hope to live.” This is how Nadeige Jean and many more people from Haiti are seeing the world because of the extremely fragile state of the country. Hurricane Irma will be especially difficult to deal with, since Hurricane Matthew hit Haiti just last October. This is why groups to raise money and build shelters in Haiti exist, and they should probably be paid more attention now than ever.
Port Au Prince, Haiti was hit with the worst storm ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean. The island has been hit by two of the major natural disasters in a decade. All of this is happening as Hurricane Irma is coming to Haiti too. Haiti is also the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Hurricane Irma was scheduled to go past offshore, but even that could flood roads and bring down old buildings. Haiti is having a hard time providing basic shelter to its 11 million residents.

UPS and Red Cross are testing out technology to help out victims in need during the back-to-back hurricanes. The first test will take place over the upcoming week. They plan to fly drones 400 feet above ground with a 30x zoom camera to identify who needs help more quickly-and while disasters are still unfolding.
Mexico is recovering from the strongest earthquake to hit the country in over a century. The death toll is at 61, but there could be even more dead. All deaths occurred in the southern part of the country. The quake was an 8.2 magnitude quake, striking just after midnight last Thursday. The capital did not have many structural damages and had zero deaths.
Hurricane Irma isn't the only thing that is hitting Florida. When there is enough circulation up over land pop-up tornadoes are also a threat. These pop-up tornadoes come with very little warning and they come fast. More than 150 miles southwest of Irma's eye there was a tornado by the everglades that destroyed several homes. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/10/us/hurricane-irma-tornadoes-explainer/index.html
Hurricane Irma is heading up Florida with heavy rainfall and strong winds. It is now a Category 2 storm with winds of 105 miles per hour. It has passed through Naples and keeps heading north towards Fort Myers and Tampa. Millions of Florida residents are under order to evacuate. The hurricane has left at least 4 people dead in Florida, and 27 were killed in the Caribbean.
A Texas chemical plant exploded after being flooded by water from Hurricane Harvey. The plant produced chemicals used to make plastic. The chemicals produced are very volatile and just a slight amount of heat will cause them to burn or explode. When the flood waters made the plant lose power two of the containers of the peroxides exploded and the rest are expected to explode also. 1.5 miles around the plant were evacuated.

As Hurricane Irma continues north of Florida, its losing strength and downgraded to a tropical storm with winds to 70 mph. 6.2 million homes in Florida are without power and more then 160,000 people are waiting out the storm in shelters.
Huricane irma is weakening as it heads through florida. It hit land in the bahamas and cuba killing 21 people so far. The original cat 5 hurricane has so far been downgraded to a cat 4. It has 115 mph winds and is causing major flooding in florida.
The state of California has had an issue with wildfires for awhile. Just recently three counties have declared an emergency. The wildfires have burned thousands of acres. There are more than 20 active fires in the state. Some fires have caused lot of evacuation in communities. In Glendale & Burbank it is one of the largest fires in the history of Los Angeles.
Hurricane Irma hit Florida over the weekend. Authorities told residents to evacuate. The category 4 hurricane has cause lots of damage. There is severe flooding and the storm has caused lots of people to lose power. Also construction cranes snapped in Florida. Several people have lost there lives due to Irma. Some died in car accident in Florida. Several more died across the Carribbean.
CNN Money stated that Hurricane Irma may be the costliest natural disaster in all of American history. The estimated amount of money that is going to have to be spent is $172 billon, it is worst then even Hurricane Katrina. This estimate was made before the hurricane hit Florida. Many people are hoping they amount of money that will be spent wont be that high. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration keeps track of the most expensive weather events in U.S. history. NOAA estimates costs for damage by calculating both insured and uninsured losses, including damage to homes, businesses, vehicles and lost of business.
Two hurricanes that were back to back have plunged the United States into a national crisis. It's already been seen, one worst case scenario in Texas. For the moment, Hurricane Harvey is the most costly natural disaster in U.S. history. Now there is Irma, which has reached across the entire state of Florida. America’s most vulnerable state. In only two weeks, the U.S. could bring up hundreds of billions of dollars in losses. Houston and South Florida have been considered two of the most vulnerable regions. They are carved out of swamps in some of the most storm prone parts of the Earth. Now they are at least partially destroyed. Climate change doesn’t cause disasters like this, but it is making them worse.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved disaster assistance for two more wildfires in northwestern Montana. The two fires started during a lightning storm on August 30th and have combined to burn 45 square miles. Mandatory evacuation happened in both areas and roughly 66 homes have been affected. http://mtpr.org/post/montana-wildfire-roundup-september-11-2017
hHurricane Irma is a tropical hurricane with sustained wind reaching 60 mph. It is currently moving towards the southern area of Georgia and is traveling upwards towards Tennessee. So far one storm related death has been confirm around South Carolina. 57 year old, Roland Saxon died after cutting down some tree limbs outside his home. A branch somehow broke off and fell on him and others believe it was storm related. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/09/us/hurricane-irma-florida-latest/index.html
The monster hurricane that hit the Florida Keys on Sunday as a Category 4 storm was downgraded to tropical storm status as it finally pushed its way out of the state and into Georgia, where it caused more misery. The National Hurricane Center said early Tuesday that Irma had become a post-tropical cyclone and was expected to move northwest through the southeastern U.S. toward the Tennessee Valley, weakening as it goes.
The death toll for Hurricane Irma is up to 12 in the state of Florida, but the good news is that the Florida Power & Light Company have restored power for up to 2.3 million customers in the state. Even though the storm is pushing strong, they expect that most of the Eastern part of Florida will have power.
Hurricane Harvey is know the second most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history. It comes in second to Hurricane Katrina that hit New Orleans in 2005. It is estimated that Hurricane Harvey will cost around 108 billion dollars. The death totals of Hurricane Harvey is up to 70 deaths after around 27 trillion gallons of rain and water came into Houston. Another Hurricane that is currently happening is Hurricane Irma and it is expected to cost more then Hurricane Harvey by a large amount.
In Mexico they offered to help in Texas from Hurricane Harvey. Now they can't help aid because they have a bad situation themselves. A earthquake hit Mexico, this has been the most powerful one, since more then a century ago. At this moment there have been 90 reported deaths. The magnitude of this earthquake measured at 8.2.
Wildfires have consumed hundreds of thousands of acres in Montana, Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, and Utah. More than 24,000 firefighters have been battling the fires for almost as long as six months. The fires have been responsible for the death of eight firefighters and have destroyed 500 homes. So far in 2017 the Forest Service has spent $1.75 billion fighting fires.
The Hurricane Irma may be one of the most costly disasters in American history. The group Enki Research analyzed the disaster and put damages at $172 billion, which wold be more devastation than Hurricane Katrina. The estimate cost is actually less than they first thought because the storm wasn't as bad as the predicted. The NOAA(National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration) tracks the expensive weather events that happened in the U.S. The estimate cost calculating both uninsured and insured losses that included businesses, vehicles, and homes.
Mexico is still in the process of re-building and getting back on their feet after a devastating earthquake not seen this powerful there for over 100 years. So far there are 61 deaths recorded but there could be much greater casualties yet to be found. The quake was a 8.2 magnitude and only hit the southern part of the country
Back-to-back hurricane catastrophes have plunged the United States into a state of national crisis. We’ve already seen one worst-case scenario in Texas: For the moment, Hurricane Harvey stands as the most costly natural disaster in U.S. history. And now there’s Irma, which has wreaked havoc across the entirety of Florida, America’s most vulnerable state. In just two weeks, the U.S. could rack up hundreds of billions of dollars in losses.
Ronald Sandele, a 70 year old man spent Hurricane Harvey in his truck. Weeks before the hurricane, he was evicted from his house. As the hurricane passed through the Florida Keys, the man felt his car begin to shake violently. Suddenly, he felt the back end of his truck lift up. He said he enjoyed feeling his truck get tossed around. When asked if he was scared, he said he wasn't because he believes you function better without fear. He also said he believes that when it's your time to go, it's your time.
Hurricane Irma hit Florida, and many of the Caribbean islands this September. It was one of the largest natural disasters the U.S has seen. It killed many people across 3 states and the islands. Hurricane Irma is setting the record for total number of people without power beating out many larger storms. More than 10 million people are without power in the state of Florida currently. About 10,000 power and energy trucks have been sent down to Florida to help restore power in the state.
