NOAA released new sattelite imagery of the hardest hit areas from Irma. In these photos we can see the current status of individual homes, watercraft and infrastructure in coastal Florida and the Keys. I have used it to view friend's homes, and a sailboat tied up in Boot Key. There is a lot of damage, for example if you look at the Boot Key bridge in Marathon you will see boats are stacked up and masts are broken on the bridge. On the other hand, I saw our friend's home is intact, but all the Mangroves have been washed out and the pool looks like crap. If you look at the lower Keys including Bahia Honda you will see the campground roads are completely erased. On Deer Key the mobile home park is decimated. Use it as you see fit.
