Puerto Rico and the islands, unfortunately, were not so fortuitous. Hurricane Irma caused plenty of damage, that much is true, but it’s nothing compared to what she would have done to the southeastern coast of the United States if she had hit with full force. Luckily, she slowed from a Category 5 down to a 3 or 2 before hitting the bulk of land in her path. It brings to light just how badly disasters can set us back.
