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.

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.

One man and his family

The sight was too much to bear.
The man told his family to get

Nearby, three other houseboats

“That’s the only way to make
it,” said Garner, who works for

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.”

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
