Apocalyptic Scene Across Florida Keys Revealed in Youtube Videos, Social Media

Hurricane Irma came ashore as a Category 4 storm in the Florida Keys on Sunday morning. The eye of the storm passed over Cudjoe Key.

The Florida Keys are a chain of islands connected by the Overseas Highway. On a Facebook group for the Florida keys, one resident noted that Big Pine experienced "up to 14 foot surge . . . . Ramrod Key aerial view "no longer detectable" which means it's underwater not viewable by drones . . . . Cudjoe, Little Torch, and Summerland all hit hard"

One Leah McNally reports that no information is available on Cudjoe Key because it appears to be completely underwater. "No reported injuries from stock island at police dept.... Everyone at sugarloaf school is safe as of last night..... National guard arriving today

Marathon airport is clear," McNally continued.
