Right on the heels on Hurricane Harvey, America is facing another weather emergency.
Although
the damage that Harvey inflicted on Texas and Louisiana was
substantial, Hurricane Irma has been wreaking just as much havoc on the
Caribbean, Cuba and Florida. While it is one thing to hear about the
damage and chaos on the news, seeing images of what people are going
through helps to put the entire event in perspective. In most cases, the
extent of damage Irma is having is much worse than we may think.
