What Hurricane Irma Has Done Till Now And What It'll Do Next

Miami: Irma, once a deadly hurricane in the Caribbean, weakened on Monday as residents in Florida and across the region surveyed the widespread damage and dealt with heavy floods.

Here is a roundup of the effects of the storm that has claimed dozens of lives and wreaked havoc that will cost billions of dollars to repair.

Irma's toll

As of late Monday, the death toll was around 40. Fourteen were killed on the French island of Saint Barthelemy and the neighboring Dutch-French island of Saint Martin, at least 10 in Cuba, six in the British Caribbean islands, at least four in the US Virgin Islands, at least two in Puerto Rico, one in Barbuda and at least one in Haiti.

At least four were killed in the US Virgin Islands, and at least two were killed in the US territory of Puerto Rico, with more than half of its three million residents without power.

Dominican Republic, Haiti

Around 20,000 people were evacuated in the Dominican Republic, the eastern part of Hispaniola island, which is shared with Haiti.

Irma caused at least one fatality, with another person missing, but passed further north than had been feared.

Authorities said 5,000 houses flooded, while 8,000 families were declared disaster victims after their homes were severely damaged or destroyed.

Cuba

Cubans reported "deafening" winds, uprooted trees and power lines, and rooftops were blown off after Irma made landfall Friday as a maximum-strength Category 5 storm.

Enormous waves lashed the Malecon, Havana's emblematic sea front, and residents were waist-deep in floodwaters after Irma forced the evacuation of more than a million people.

Havana residents remained without water supplies and phone connections and schools were closed until further notice.

Florida

More than four million homes were without power throughout Florida and more than six million people had been ordered to flee their homes.

Florida Governor Rick Scott said Irma's storm surge saw many areas inundated, including historic levels in at least three counties.

Power lines were down across the state, with 65 percent of homes without electricity, and many roads were impassable due to debris.

The military was helping in relief operations, with the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier arriving off Florida late on Sunday to help in the southern part of the state and along the Florida Keys.

Irma: Where next?

Warnings of hazardous storm surges persisted in several areas as Irma's center moved over southwestern Georgia after passing by the northwestern coast of Florida.

The National Hurricane Center warned of possible tornadoes along the South Carolina coast overnight.

A state of emergency has been declared in Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia and Florida.

Hurricanes Jose, Katia

A weakening Hurricane Jose passed north of Saint Barthelemy and Saint Martin over the weekend, despite earlier fears the islands would suffer the second storm within days.

Another hurricane, Katia, made landfall in eastern Mexico late Friday, killing two people.
