Hurricane Irma is weak after sweeping across the Florida peninsula (USA) for the past few days, but strong winds, heavy rain, tornadoes and flash floods still threaten the state.

Hurricane Irma entered the Florida Keys on the morning of September 10, sweeping away many homes, submerging streets in floodwaters. A day later, the superstorm of the century weakened into a tropical storm but is still flooding in Jacksonville.

While officials are counting the damage from the storm, CNN has made initial summaries and provided an overview of the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma in Florida.

In Key Largo, where the Florida Keys are located, where Irma made landfall, about 5,000 of the 30,000 residents of the Florida Keys have remained unavailable.

More than 50,000 households in Monroe County, including Forida Keys, have power outages, many are without water and phone signals, Monroe Heather Carruthers County officials said.

During the storm, Miami City suffered almost no power, streets were flooded, the wind swept away extremely dangerous objects flying in the air and at least 2 cranes collapsed. nh: CNN

Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado said that thousands of trees were cut down on the streets and that about 72% of the city had no electricity.

Macro Island - the southwestern city of Florida, where Irma made its second landfall on the afternoon of September 10. Although the storm has dropped to level 3, much of Marco Island is still flooded with waves nearly 1m high.

Many power lines, including the main power line, were broken due to the impact of the storm. About 2,000 households are still without power.

Naples city Mayor Bill Barnett said that although the storm did not cause as much damage as initially feared, trees fell and streets were flooded. Most cities in Naples are without power and it could take about a week for the city's power system to recover.

The Tampa Bay area is feared to be directly affected by Hurricane Irma, but fortunately the storm only passed through the area when it had weakened. However, Irma still damaged about 10 homes in Hillsborough County, where Tampa City is located. In addition, residents living along the river are also continuing to be flooded.

The city of Jacksonville, Florida, faces flash flooding on September 11. St. Johns rose to record levels, flooding main roads. Mayor Lenny Curry said rescue teams are still evacuating people from low-lying areas affected by flooding.
