9A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 FEMA estimates 25 percent of Florida Keys homes are gone In hard-hit Naples, on Flori- da’s southwest coast, more than 300 people stood outside a Pub- lix grocery store in the morning, waiting for it to open. A manager came to the store’s sliding door with occa- sional progress reports. Once he said workers were throw- ing out produce that had gone bad, another time that they were trying to get the cash registers working. One man complained loudly that the line had too many gaps. Others shook their heads in frus- tration at word of another delay. At the front of the line after a more than two-hour wait, Phill Chirchirillo, 57, said days with- out electricity and other basics were beginning to wear on people. “At first it’s like, ‘We’re safe, thank God.’ Now they’re testy,” he said. “The order of the day is to keep people calm.” Irma’s rainy remnants, meanwhile, pushed through Alabama and Mississippi after drenching Georgia. Flash-flood watches and warnings were issued around the Southeast. While nearly all of Florida was engulfed by the 400-mile- wide storm, the Keys — home to about 70,000 people — appeared to be the hardest hit. Drinking water and power were cut off, all three of the islands’ hospitals were closed, and the supply of gasoline was extremely limited. Officials said it was not known how many people ignored evacuation orders to stay behind in the Keys. Federal Emergency Man- agement Agency administrator Brock Long said that prelimi- nary estimates suggested that 25 percent of the homes in the Keys were destroyed and 65 percent sustained major damage. “Basically every house in the Keys was impacted,” he said. In Islamorada, a trailer park was devastated, the homes ripped apart as if by a giant claw. A sewage-like stench hung over the place. Debris was scattered every- where, including refrigerators, washers and dryers, a 25-foot fishing boat and a Jacuzzi. Homes were torn open to give An aircraft carrier was posi- tioned off Key West to help in the search-and-rescue effort. And crews worked to repair two washed-out, 300-foot sections of U.S. 1, the only highway from the mainland, and check the safety of the 42 bridges link- ing the islands. Authorities stopped peo- ple and checked for documen- tation such as proof of resi- dency or business ownership before allowing them back into the Upper Keys, includ- ing Key Largo, Tavernier and Islamorada. The Lower Keys — includ- ing the chain’s most distant and most populous island, Key West, with 27,000 people — were still off-limits, with a road- block in place where the high- way was washed out. In Lower Matecumbe Key, just south of Islamorada, 57-year-old Donald Gar- 651 Help Wanted 664 Services 828 Misc for Sale 101 Legal Notices 101 Legal Notices AB6459 CIRCUIT COURT OF OREGON CLATSOP COUNTY AB6465 NOTICE OF SHERIFF’S SALE By JASON DEAREN and MARTHA MENDOZA Associated Press LOWER MATECUMBE KEY, Fla. — Search-and-rescue teams made their way into the Florida Keys’ farthest reaches Tuesday, while authorities rushed to repair the lone high- way connecting the islands and deliver aid to Hurricane Irma’s victims. Federal officials estimated one-quarter of all homes in the Keys were destroyed. Two days after Irma roared into the island chain with 130 mph winds, residents were allowed to return to the parts of the Keys closest to Florida’s mainland. But the full extent of the death and destruction there remained a question mark because cellphone service was disrupted and some places were inaccessible. “It’s going to be pretty hard for those coming home,” said Petrona Hernandez, whose concrete home on Plantation Key with 35-foot walls was unscathed, unlike others a few blocks away. “It’s going to be devastating to them.” Elsewhere in Florida, life inched closer to normal, with some flights again taking off, many curfews lifted and major theme parks reopening. Cruise ships that extended their voy- ages and rode out the storm at sea began returning to port with thousands of passengers. 651 Help Wanted Now Hiring (3) Certified American Red Cross or American Red Cross Instructors $15-$20 per hour To cover Astoria, Seaside, Cannon Beach, OR.

One man and his family came to check on a weekend home and found it destroyed. The sight was too much to bear. The man told his family to get back in the car, and they drove off toward Miami. In Key Largo, Lisa Storey and her husband said they had yet to be contacted by the power company or by city, county or state officials. As she spoke to a reporter, a helicopter passed overhead. “That’s a beautiful sound, a rescue sound,” she said. ner checked on his houseboat, which had only minor damage. Nearby, three other houseboats were partially sunk. Garner had tied his to mangroves. “That’s the only way to make it,” said Garner, who works for a shrimp company. While the Keys are studded with mansions and beachfront resorts, about 13 percent of the people live in poverty and could face big obstacles as the cleanup begins. “People who bag your gro- ceries when you’re on vacation, the bus drivers, hotel cleaners, cooks and dishwashers, they’re already living beyond paycheck to paycheck,” said Stephanie Kaple, who runs an organiza- tion that helps the homeless in the Keys. Corey Smith, a UPS driver who rode out the hurricane in Key Largo, said it was a relief that many buildings on the island escaped major damage. But he said conditions were still not good, with branches block- ing roads and supermarkets closed. “They’re shoving peo- ple back to a place with no resources,” he said by tele- phone. “It’s just going to get crazy pretty quick.” Mendoza reported from Atlanta.

Some places still inaccessible AP Photo/David Goldman A mobile home community is flooded in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. The number of people with- out electricity in the steamy late-summer heat dropped to around 10 million — half of Florida’s population. Utility officials warned it could take 10 days or more for power to be fully restored. About 110,000 people remained in shelters across Florida. The number of deaths blamed on Irma in Florida climbed to 12, in addition to four in South Carolina and two in Georgia. At least 37 people were killed in the Caribbean. “We’ve got a lot of work to do, but everybody’s going to come together,” Florida Gov. Rick Scott said. “We’re going to get this state rebuilt.” Frustration The City of Astoria has an opening for a Utility Worker I with an hourly rate of $18.44 to $22.41.
