"Irma death toll in US climbs to 17 as power is restored to over 2 million Florida customers" was written by Emily Shapiro, Karma Allen, and Julia Jacobo.
Seventeen Americans passed away in Hurricane Irma and about 7,000,000 people lost power. On Tuesday, 2.3 million of those people got their power back but unfortunately 4.7 million people are still without power. Irma was the first Category 4 hurricane in Florida since 2004. Now people are in terrible traffic trying to get back home where they will clean up the destruction and try to put their lives back together. Our President, Donald Trump plans to visit Florida on Thursday.
How much do you think this will effect the economy of the region? Also do you think it will take a long time to rebuild just like what happened with Hurricane Katrina?
ReplyDeleteI don't think the severity will be anywhere near the magnitude of Katrina. This is a terrible thing that has happened, but our country was more than prepared. Coming together after this and getting things back in shape should be easy. President Trump also raised the cieling on the financial plan to better serve the victims. So I think it will be easier to deal with. 😋
DeleteI wonder what could happen anymore at this point. Destruction and reconstruction wise.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how this hurricane is affecting the Caribbean? could this be similar to the one that his the region when alexander hamilton was a child?
