In Pics: When Hurricane Irma Caused Havoc In Florida, US

Miami (US): Hurricane Irma gave Florida a coast-to-coast pummeling with winds up to 130 mph, swamping homes and boats, knocking out power to millions and toppling massive construction cranes over the Miami skyline. The 400-mile-wide (640-kilometer-wide) storm blew ashore in the mostly cleared-out Florida Keys, then began a slow trek up the state's west coast, its punishing winds extending clear across to Miami and West Palm Beach on the Atlantic side. Here are some of the pictures which show the about of destruction it has caused.
