As first light dawned across Florida on Monday, people began venturing out to evaluate the damage left in the wake of Irma, one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes on record.
Large swaths of Florida have been battered by Hurricane Irma’s 120-plus-mph winds, which pounded the state for hours on end, and rainfall totals that could be measured in feet. More than two dozen people were killed in the storm when it roared through the Caribbean before setting its sights on Miami and cities northwards, and then surprisingly turning west towards Naples and up that coast.
Chabad Shluchim throughout Florida have banded together to help coordinate relief efforts to people who are without power or homebound.
More than 42 Chabad Houses with electricity are opening their doors to congregants and neighbors and offering them a place to cool off, charge their cell phones and get a fresh meal.
