(AP) — Parts of Florida inched back toward normal with workers restoring pow- er, clearing roads and re- plenishing gas supplies, even as teams scoured the state’s southernmost islands and authorities warned of mass devasta- tion. Residents drift ed back from shelters and far- away havens Tuesday to see Hurricane Irma’s scattershot destruc- tion. Flooded streets re- mained, and the count of damaged and totaled homes ticked upward even as some curfews were lift ed, fl ights re- sumed and amusement park rides again twirled. “Everything’s gone,” said Jen Gilreath, a 33-year-old bartender whose Jacksonville home fi lled with knee-high fl oodwaters. As crews labored to repair the lone highway connecting the Keys, res- idents of some of the is- lands closest to Florida’s mainland were allowed to return and get their fi rst look at the devasta- tion two days aft er Irma roared in with 130 mph (209 kph) winds. Federal Emergency Management Agency ad- ministrator Brock Long said preliminary esti- mates suggested that 25 percent of the homes in the Keys were destroyed and 65 percent sustained major damage. Myanmar drawing con- demnation for violence that has driven at least 370,000 Rohingya to fl ee the country, the govern- ment said Wednesday its leader Aung San Suu Kyi would skip this week’s U.N. General Assembly. Suu Kyi was missing the assembly, which opened Tuesday and runs through Sept. 25, in order to address do- mestic security issues, ing their plan for trying again. They’ve struggled for weeks to round up suf- fi cient support for the package. It would cut and reshape Medicaid, disperse money spent under Obama’s law di- rectly to states and erase Obama’s penalties on people who don’t pur- chase coverage.

Suu Kyi has canceled plans to attend the U.N. General Assembly, with her country drawing international criticism for violence that has driven at least 370,000 ethnic Rohingya Muslims from the country in less than three weeks. according to presiden- tial offi ce spokesman Zaw Htay. Suu Kyi is not Myanmar’s president — her offi cial titles are state counselor and foreign minister — but she eff ec- tively serves as leader of the Southeast Asian na- tion. Zaw Htay said that, with President Htin Kyaw hos- pitalized, the second vice president would attend the U.N. meeting. “The fi rst reason (Suu Kyi cannot attend) is be- cause of the Rakhine ter- rorist attacks,” Zaw Htay said. “The state counsel- or is focusing to calm the situation in Rakhine state. There are circum- stances. The second rea- son is, there are people inciting riots in some ar- eas. We are trying to take care of the security issue els, setting off a wave of violence that have left hundreds dead and thou- sands of homes burned — mostly Rohingya in both cases.
