Hurricane Irma ripped not only ripped through the news and social media it also ripped through the central western coast of Florida on September 10, 2017. It tore full grown trees out of the ground and put a lot of hurt on the residents of central Florida. It damaged anything it got its hands on. The storm whipped through the sunshine state with sustained winds of over 60 mph and heavy rain.

Irma formed in the Atlantic Ocean and first experienced landfall over the Caribbean Islands, and drifted its way up the western coast of Florida until the storm dissipated over Tennessee’s mid-country.

When Hurricane Irma hit Florida as a Category 4 on the Richter Scale on the morning of September 10, 2017, it ripped off roofs and flooded nearby cities, causing nearly $100 billion in damage. Hurricane Matthew, which was a 2016 hurricane that hit America, only had $15 billion in damage, while Hurricane Harvey, the most recent Hurricane to hit Texas, had $180 billion in damage according to world vision.com.

Almost a week after the storm had passed the citizens of certain parts of Florida are without electricity and even with unlivable homes.  At one point in Hurricane Irma’s life, it was the strongest hurricane the National Hurricane Center has ever recorded in the Atlantic. Floridians are in a word or hurt and have a long clean up and rebuild time ahead.

The World Vision is providing relief to the survivors and people who experienced devastation during the storm . World vision is an organization made to help with these catastrophes. On Thursday 14, 2017 church leaders, volunteers and, world vision staff distributed the first two truckloads of relief supplies to hard hit families in Immokalee,Florida.

Supplies that were contributed to World Vision were, Food, Water, Hygiene supplies, Sleeping bags, coolers, storm clean up kits and many other relief items. Each one of the truck’s supplies can help over 2,500 people that were and continue to be affected by this tropical storm.

Many were devastated and many are without what they once had but, World Vision and individual volunteers are doing everything they can to help out and put back the trees ripped out of the ground.
