Days later, Hurricane Irma ravaged the Caribbean as a Category 5 storm.

By the time the storm made landfall in the Florida Keys on September 10, 2017, Irma was the most intense hurricane to strike the continental United States since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The storm generated more wind energy than the entire 2013 or 2015 hurricane seasons. In total, it caused at least 134 deaths and $78 billion worth of damage.
