Hurricane Irma killed at least 61 people in the US and flooded major cities including Jacksonville, Florida and Charleston, South Carolina.

Before hitting the United States, Irma slammed into Cuba as a Category 5 hurricane.

More than 40 people were killed when Irma tore through several Caribbean islands, knocking down trees and leveling buildings.
