Hurricane Irma Hits Florida
Hurricane Irma hit Florida as a Category 4 storm the morning of Sept. 10, ripping off roofs, flooding coastal cities, and knocking out power to more than 6 million people. By Sept. 11, Irma weakened significantly to a tropical storm as it powered north toward Georgia and Alabama. At 11 p.m. later that day, it weakened further to a tropical depression, and by Sept. 13, it had dissipated over western Tennessee.
SERVPRO of Greenville/Cleveland was dispatched to Florida after Hurricane Irma hit. This home in Delray Beach, Florida, was affected by the hurricane. Due to water affecting the drywall and baseboards in this master closet, baseboards were removed to expose the drywall affected. Equipment was set in this house to dry affected materials. While some houses had more damage to their property after Hurricane Irma hit, this homeowner was lucky not to have tremendous damage.
