In Pictures: Irma Brings Destruction to Florida and the Caribbean

Hurricane Irma hopscotched up Florida’s west coast Sunday, making two landfalls and driving a wall of water and winds that submerged Miami and had the Tampa Bay area readying for a deluge of a sort unseen in decades.

Irma's path forced the largest evacuation in Miami-Dade County history and sent millions of Floridians fleeing the state’s first major hurricane since Wilma in 2005. It has already laid waste to the island of Barbuda, killed at least 25 people, and left thousands homeless across the Caribbean.
