You Dodged a Bullet (or a Hurricane): When Did Irma Imprint Itself on Florida?
Ah, Hurricane Irma. The name that sends shivers down the spines of Floridians (and their insurance companies) everywhere. But hey, if you're reading this, you probably weren't there to experience the eye of the storm flirting with your pool flamingo.
The Short Answer (for those with the attention span of a goldfish): Hurricane Irma landed in Florida on September 10th, 2017.
The Long Answer (with a sprinkle of Floridian flair):
September 10th, 2017. Mark it on your calendar (or don't, because who uses calendars anymore?). That's the day Irma decided to salsa across the Straits of Florida and give the Sunshine State a not-so-sunny welcome. It wasn't a gentle nudge, either. Irma strutted in as a Category 4 hurricane, packing some serious wind and rain.
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.
Think of it like that crazy aunt who shows up unannounced, eats all the good snacks, and leaves with a lamp. Except, instead of a lamp, Irma might have taken your roof. Just sayin'.
Wait, There's More? (The Double Whammy)
Irma wasn't satisfied with just one landfall. Oh no, this hurricane was a two-for-one special. It smacked down on Cudjoe Key at lunch time (rude) with 130 mph winds, then did a victory lap over Marco Island a few hours later.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
But hey, at least it wasn't peak tourist season, right? Silver linings, people, silver linings.
