Hurricane damage in Miami on Monday.

Sept. 11, 2017
Days after it began its assault on the Caribbean and southern Florida, Hurricane Irma was still churning north on Monday, causing fresh damage in areas where many Floridians had sought refuge over the weekend.
The storm’s rain bands reached out hundreds of miles beyond its center, wreaking havoc throughout much of Georgia and South Carolina on Monday. Storm surges were made worse by an unlucky coincidence that prompted flash flooding: Irma’s effects had arrived at high tide.
