Florida after super typhoon century Irma: Dark, flooding and ruin
Irma, the most powerful storm ever recorded in the Atlantic, has turned many areas in the state of Florida into ruin ruins that many liken to the apocalypse.
Recorded as the most powerful super typhoon in the Atlantic with level 5, maximum winds of up to 295km / h, Irma is evaluated by US meteorologists as very rare.Landing on the coast of Florida on September 10 and heading northwest, the "monster" storm devastated the places where it passed.In the picture is a part of the empty Florida Keys chain, eroded after the storm.(Photo: AP).

The second American landfall of Hurricane Irma took place on Marco Island in the south of Naples.Although weakened to level 2, the storm still caused serious flooding and power outages in many areas when sweeping through the city.The photo shows the house completely destroyed at the park of the mobile home of Naples Estates, Florida, September 11.This park is almost flattened by a storm.(Photo: Getty).
A day later, the Atlantic " monster" weakened into a tropical storm but was still flooding in many places, most importantly Jacksonville.The water level here rises above the record of the storm in 1964 at least 3m, according to the US National Weather Agency.(Photo: AP).

According to Florida's emergency management department, about 6.3 million people across the state were ordered to evacuate before Hurricane Irma landed.Some boroughs and southern Florida cities, including Palm Beach, Broward and Miami coastal city, issued a curfew when they saw the storm approaching.However in the Florida Keys, the first place to pick up storms in the US, about 5,000 of the 30,000 residents decided not to evacuate.(Photo: AP).
After the storm, video made by drone equipment showed scenes of many of Florida's deserted areas, buried in flood waters.Houses, trees, and vehicles are scattered like garbage dumps.In the photos, houses, trees and mailboxes were obscured by the storm carrying sand from Pompano Blown beach.(Photo: Getty).

"Super storm of the century" finally passed away, the people of Florida began life again, but in front of them are rubble and serious flooding along the coast and in deeper farms in land. "I don't want to wake up and think about it this morning. Too horrible," Cameron Brainard, who lives in Jacksonville, shared. "The storm devastated everything. It was all over," said neighbor Jen Gilreath, 33, in despair.(Photo: Reuters).

Irma killed at least 12 people in the state of Florida.37 others also died when the storm swept across the Caribbean region.(Photo: Reuters).
The extent of the damage has not been estimated due to communication and transportation to many severed areas.The governor of Florida said it was too early to give a specific figure.According to AIR Worldwide estimates, damage to insured assets in Florida due to Hurricane Irma will be around $ 20 to 40 billion.(Photo: Reuters).
Earlier, Hurricane Irma swept across the Caribbean Sea, leaving its path traces of destruction.Heavy rains and storms of typhoons have raged on small islands in Barbuda, St.Martin as well as Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti and even Cuba, causing heavy losses of life and property in these areas.(Photo: Getty).
